About Walburn Black
Walburn was originally developed as a headline face for The Globe and Mail (“Canada’s National Newspaper“). It has narrow serifs and sidebearings, for a tight fit; and a finely-detailed, stylized finish to add visual interest. The faux finish of this condensed Walbaum revival discreetly apes the look of letterpress. It is an effect that can be controlled, with a variety of “optically scaled“ fonts. The Fine styles have finer details, narrower serifs, and a tighter fit, for use at very large sizes. |
