Most of my font friday posts seem to be all about my favorite scripts so I thought I’d share a brand spanking new roman option that I fell in love with recently. I am always looking for a good, distressed but still readable typeface for our vintage brides that can infuse an invitation with some personality and a feeling of history. Packard seems to be designed just for that and as soon as C isn’t looking it is coming home with me! I also love the provenance of the font: “Packard Old Style is based on lettering drawn by Oswald Cooper for the Packard Motor Company (ATF 1913).” How cool is that?
Packard has both a regular and bold version to allow for a little versatility. And how great is the name? Loving it today.
