Epitaph

Drawn around 1880 at the Boston Type Foundry, Epitaph combined slow curves with a boxy sure-footed profile. Its noisy theatrics caught Tobias Frere-Jones’ eye, who created this digital revival. Starting with a handful of alternates from the original, he also built a complete second alphabet, offered alongside the default. [store.typenetwork.com]

Originally released by Font Bureau in 1993 and moved to Frere–Jones Type in 2020 [fontsinuse.com], available through Type Network and added to the foundry’s website in December 2024.
