Sweet ® Square is based upon antique engraver's lettering design templates called "masterplates." Expert stationers use a pantograph to manually move letters from these masterplates to a piece of copper or steel that is then etched to function as a plate or die. This demanding strategy is uncommon today given that most engravers now utilize a photographic procedure to make plates, where almost any font style will do. However the lettering styles engravers popularized during the first half of the twentieth century remain both familiar and appealing.
Referencing different masterplates, Mark van Bronkhorst has actually drawn Sugary food Square in nine weights. The sources provided just uppercase, little caps, and figures, yet comparable, condensed examples had a lowercase, making it possible to translate a full character set for Sugary food Square. Italics were likewise contributed to give the household greater versatility.
The fonts are readily available as fundamental, "/ fonts/sweet/square/" character sets, and as "Pro" character sets providing unique characters, a range of typographic functions, and complete support for Western and Central European languages.
Sweet Square provides new life to an unusual class of typeface: an early twentieth-century business invention that brings a singular verve to contemporary design. Its unique design is as useful as it is novel.
