Poseidon Sans
A typewriter-inspired custom that never went public—until now
A Christian Schwartz typeface originally drawn for art director Darhil Crooks at The Atlantic. Loosely inspired by 20th-century typewriter faces, it is proportional yet intentionally awkward. Now available through Commercial Type's Vault, a repository of previously unreleased work spanning over 20 years.
