Coldstyle is motivated by Old Design 1 from the 1935 Linotype catalog.
It is a text font gently aged to catch the feel of old metal type, and consists of "fi" and "fl" ligatures for old-fashioned typesetting. The Little Caps weight has standard portions in place of numerals.
This font style was used in the opening titles and closing credits of the Miramax film "Cold Mountain"
