Monkton Aged Font Family was designed by Adrian Williams and published by Club Type. Monkton Aged contains 4 styles and family package options. This antique-aged version of Monkton can be used to imitate old letterpress printed documents such as old English text. The rough edges resemble ink spread on paper to give an old look.The inspiration for this typeface family came from my childhood experiences at Monkton, amidst an historic part of the South West of England.Studies of the original incised capitals of the Trajan column in Rome were analysed and polished for this modern version. The lower case letterforms and numerals were then created in sympathy, taking their proportions from the incised letters of local gravestones.Its name honours not only the area where the original alphabet was conceived and drawn, but also the people responsible for fostering my initial interest in letters.
