This late 19th century design invokes early 20th century Dutch DeStijl lettering with a mostly rigorous adherence to ideal angles and very little stroke modulation. Geometric started its life as a metal typeface from the Central Type Foundry, circa 1884. Not long after, this design was officially accredited to Morgan & & Wilcox and was displayed in their 1890 catalog in Regular, Light and Condensed Light variations. After getting Morgan & & Wilcox, Hamilton Manufacturing provided Geometric Light Face Condensed as their own No 3020 and the Geometric Light Face as No 3021. HWT Geometric has been expanded digitally to include a Routine Condensed version. A heavier wood type specimen was discovered from an unidentified producer and digitized as it was discovered, resulting in the HWT Geometric Shopworn and Shopworn Inked variations.
These digital variations all consist of a full Western and Main European character set of over 380 glyphs.
