Malham

Malham is a type family that explores the middle ground between sans and serif. Malham became an amalgamation of a few distinct areas of typographic research including:

• Examples of type that could be construed as SemiSerif
• American sign painting and brush lettering.
• Rationalized blackletter from the same geographical location.
• Eclectic forms of vernacular type.

And over a handful of months, the project transformed into something completely unexpected. While still keeping an air of familiarity and ubiquity to its shapes.

The Malham family is comprised of two main styles: Display and Text. The Display styles lean heavily on the findings of the R&D phase of the project. While the Text styles leave the idiosyncratic blackletter and brush lettering influences behind, elaborating on some of the more Dwiggins-esque qualities to better function at smaller sizes.

Huw Williams

Huw Williams is a type designer from the United Kingdom of Great Britain. As a retired climber, Huw abandoned the rock to live a more sedentary life of black and white, up and down, left and right. Now instead of worrying about friction and two finger pockets, he concerns himself with over obsessive point placements, confusing research proposals and what the French are doing (have done).
