What is the Monkton® font?
The inspiration for this typeface family came from my childhood experiences at Monkton, amidst an historic part of the South West of England.
Studies of the original incised capitals of the Trajan column in Rome were analysed and polished for this modern version. The lower case letterforms and numerals were then created in sympathy, taking their proportions from the incised letters of local gravestones.
Its name honours not only the area where the original alphabet was conceived and drawn, but also the people responsible for fostering my initial interest in letters.
