Foundry: Canada Type
Plywood is based on a long lost American film classic: Franklin Typefounders Barker Flare from the early 1970s. Plywood is a surprisingly effective mix between the rigid confidence of nineteenth century wood types and the smooth feminine curves of twentieth century art nouveau ideas. With many variations on almost every letter in the alphabet, it's a versatile typeface that can make itself timelessly at home in multiple design environments, with motifs ranging from the strong and western to the crafty and artsy. Plywood?s very expanded character set comes in all popular font formats, including a Pro version that takes advantage of OpenType?s many character alternating features in supporting programs.
