PoW Covenant Mono

PoW Covenant Mono is a fixed-width companion to Pow Covenant, an interpretation of the Scotch Roman typefaces of the early 19th century. Its dry structure underlines the process of mechanization and standardization applied to text typefaces at that time. The removal of expected tear drops and its low contrast leaves only the skeletal construction to express the historical forms. In addition, the mono aspect of this sub-family interfers even more in the consistency of the typesetted texture and create unique effects. The heavier weights refer more to Clarendons and slab serif typefaces, which are a continuation of this mechanization process. Italics are the contemporary counterpart to this concept. They formally express all the simplification and construction principles of the design without historical reference. The visual paradox between a condensed italic design and the wide fixed-width makes the italics stand out in texts. [proof-of-words.com]
