Salden was developed by Patrick Griffin, Hans van Maanen, Helmut Salden and published by Canada Type. Salden consists of 6 styles and household bundle choices. p > The Salden typefaces are our tribute to the male who was called the face of the Dutch book, and whose work is thought about important in 20th century Dutch design history. Helmut Salden's elegant book cover styles were the gold requirement in the Netherlands for more than 4 years. His influence over Dutch lettering artists and book designers ranges everywhere, and his work continues to be used commercially and exhibited to this very day.

At the root of Salden's design work was a distinct eye for counter area and amazing lettering skills that never ever failed to awe, despite category or genre. This made our attention to his lettering even more focused within our appreciation to his overall aesthetic. Though Salden never created alphabets to be developed into typefaces (he drew sets of letters which he often recycled and customized to fit different tasks), we thought there sufficed there to deduce what a couple of various typefaces by Salden would have appeared like. The man was prolific, so there were definitely sufficient kinds to assist us, and sufficient variation in design to press our enjoyment even further. Therefore we called the ideal people, obtained access to the pertinent product, and had a great deal of enjoyable from there.

This set covers the range of Salden's lettering skills. Included are his popular caps, his untamed, chunky flare sans serif in 2 widths, his special Roman letters and an italic buddy and, many identifiable of all, his unique scripty upright italic lowercase shapes, which he used alongside Roman caps drawn particularly for that sort of combination titling.

All the font styles in this set consist of Pan-European glyph sets. They're likewise filled with bonus. Salden Roman (908 glyphs) and Salden Italic (976 glyphs) each included built-in small caps (and caps-to-small-caps), numerous ligatures, and 2 various sets of alternates. Salden Black and Salden Black Condensed (636 glyphs each) come with a set of alternates, and both lining and oldstyle figures. Salden Caps (597 glyphs) includes a set of alternates, and Salden Titling (886 glyphs) features a rather a great deal of swashed kinds and alternates (consisting of as numerous six variants for some forms), a few discretionary ligatures, and 2 sets of figures. There are likewise some type alternates for the Cyrillic and Greek sets consisted of in all 6 fonts.

These alphabets were enjoyably studied and meticulously established over the previous ten years approximately. We consider ourselves extremely fortunate to be the ones bringing them to the world as our contribution to maintaining the tradition of a legendary skill and a fantastic designer. Most of the work was based upon Salden's original drawings, access to which was enthusiastically offered by Museum Meermanno in The Hague.

The Salden typefaces were done in agreement with Stichting 1940-1945, and their sale will in part advantage Museum Meermanno.
