Meadow is a major effort to create a neutral typeface household that can likewise be utilized as a strong practical typeface for various requirements. At the very same time, Meadow has a true personality, which I believe new typefaces must have. Influences can be found in work by Hermann Zapf, as this design of drawing letters comes naturally to me. I should likewise confess that I've always had a love/hate relationship with his typeface-- Optima.

Meadow is the more modern alternative with a fresh expression and a twist of something brand-new. What I'm speaking about is the motion in the junctions in between the stem and stroke which is by purpose shifted far from the stem. This does not actually simulate what a broad pen would do, but it gives the typeface some unanticipated details.

After making the Meadow household I felt the requirement to do a slightly more condensed version of the typeface. A version that conserves a little space however has the same character. Meadow Condensed works well by itself or as a member of the family. Character sets are identical, surface and quality is the same, it's just narrower to make room for more words.

Meadow is well matched for strong headings all the way to small size settings.
