Job French Clarendon is a celebration of the bracketed horizontal
stress slab serifs from the heyday of letterpress printing. While we were
working on Job Clarendon, Bethany Heck also investigated “French” Clarendons
from the same time period, and would occasionally send messages with
particularly tasty exemplars from her extensive research into nineteenth
century wood types. She convinced me to explore a horizontal-stress
slab that could serve as a kind of B-side for Job Clarendon.
