Thorowgood Sans Condensed

Nineteenth century advertising by the 1840s was awash with condensed and often very bold sans serifs. Excepting the famous Stephenson Blake Grotesques, few survived the death of the British typefounding industry in the early part of the 20th century. Thorowgood sans takes a model from the late 1840s full of charm and character.
