Austin Font Family
Austin Font Family is a modern serif typeface that serves as a loose revival of the typefaces designed by Richard Austin in the late 18th century for the publisher John Bell. As a trade engraver, Austin was instrumental in creating the first British modern typefaces and later developed the distinctive Scotch Roman style. The font features a narrow design that avoids being overly condensed, embodying the aesthetic and sheen reminiscent of New York in the 1970s.
