Balancing playfulness and rhythm with history and heritage, Chamberlain Black is an approachable blackletter typeface that functions best at large scale. Inspired by the precision and functionality of letterpress, Chamberlain Black draws on forms from a machine-cut wood-type specimen from 1888. Referencing its Old English and German roots, it draws on the heritage of blackletter with a hint of calligraphic playfulness. Combining organic and rhythmic letterforms, Chamberlain Black offers a sprightly approach while remaining true to its blackletter bones. Designed for decorative functionality, it is intended to be used for display and functions best at large scale.
