Hebden is a ‘Northern’ font. Inspired by the town Hebden Bridge in Yorkshire, the family is a mix of a sign-painters' grotesque and Egyptian lettering. The uppercase is based on Victorian train station signage and the newly added lowercase is inspired by lettering manuals from the 19th century. Hebden has a nostalgic twist and is ideal for labelling, signage and memorable messages. The typeface with its robust angles and warm circular curves recalls the style of traditional English sans-serifs like Caslon’s 2-Line Egyptian. The weight range of the typeface has now spans eight thin to heavy styles with a slanted Roman for each weight. [store.typenetwork.com]
