HWT Geometric was developed by James Grieshaber and released by Hamilton Wood Type Foundry. HWT Geometric consists of 6 designs and family plan choices. p > This late 19th century style creates early 20th century Dutch DeStijl lettering with a mainly strict adherence to ideal angles and minimal stroke modulation. Geometric began its life as a metal typeface from the Central Type Foundry, circa 1884. Not long after, this design was formally accredited to Morgans & & Wilcox and was displayed in their 1890 catalog in Routine, Light and Condensed Light variations. After acquiring Morgans & & Wilcox, Hamilton Manufacturing used Geometric Light Face Condensed as their own No 3020 and the Geometric Light Face as No 3021. HWT Geometric has actually been expanded digitally to consist of a Regular Condensed version. A much heavier wood type specimen was discovered from an unidentified producer and digitized as it was discovered, leading to the HWT Geometric Shopworn and Shopworn Inked variations. These digital versions all consist of a complete Western and Central European character set of over 380 glyphs.
