Farnham

Fleischmann's sparkle carried across every weight

Christian Schwartz drew Farnham by focusing on the exuberant angularity of 18th-century punchcutter Johannes Fleischmann, whose work at the Enschedé Foundry was celebrated for its sparkle. Two decades later, Schwartz and Bea Korsh remastered the family, adding swash capitals across the full italic range.
