Hello RS!
On the 24th of July in 2005 you sent a chapter (from Lawson’s Anatomy of a Typeface) about the Clarendon typeface to MadMax, who did some research on the topic.
One year ago I started with my work concerning the Clarendon. I “redesigned” it for poster applications, which means that I drew it in FontLab using the “Meisterbuch der Schrift” by Jan Tschichold.
Now I used the information from last year´s discussion in this forum, but I think the chapter could be quite interesting for me, too!
Please send it to me!
Thank you

I also found that some

I also found that some people think, Clarendon was originally used at The Oxford University Foundry in 1900. That foundry had a Clarendon Building.

I just wanted to say thanks for this forum. I also had a project on the Clarendon Typeface, and I found most answers right here.

Gracias.

Maximiliano, some outstanding contemporary clarendons I wouldn’t miss are Font Bureau’s Giza, Storm’s Farao and Hoefler’s Proteus project.

I have a copye of Lawson’s Anatomy of a Typeface, so if you have an speceific question on the topic I could search it.

Lawson’s Anatomy of a Typeface has a chapter on Clarendon typefaces. Great book for type history.

First, please know that many

Norbert Florendo — Thu, 21 Jul 2005 09:11:27 -0700

First, please know that many designers are credited when making a version of the original typeface. The original was done in 1845 by Robert Besley!

Hermann Eidenbenz created a version of Clarendon in 1953.

I was just about to give you this link about Freeman “Jerry” Craw, who created a famous version called Craw Clarendon. I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Craw several times at Type Directors Club meetings, so you know it can’t be as old as the original Clarendon.

I don’t think you will find EVERY variation of the original Clarendon, but just know that the two above are very well known and accepted.

Yes, I’m old, but I never met Robert Besley!

Excelent! It

MadMax — Thu, 21 Jul 2005 08:36:19 -0700

Excelent! It worked!

Norbert... I´m quite confused... at first sight I read at the web about this Robert Besley designer and his Clarendon Type... then I found another designer called “Hermann Eidenbenz” that seems to have a participation in the font creation... In some places I found that the Clarendon Type was designed by this Hermann Eidenbenz?¡?¡? Ouch! Don´t know what to do!!

I´m searching for Information about Robert Besley and Besley´s Clarendon Type

I´m a student of Graphic Design from University of Buenos Aires, Argentina and I´m working on an investigation of the Clarendon Typography. Luckily, I´ve found this site. I´ve been looking for information about Robert Besley and his Clarendon family type but I could not find anything. I´ll apreciate very much if you could help me with some references where to find or if you could send me some info for my investigation.

Thank you very much,
