KEYSTONE INTIALS AND CUTS

The Keystone Type Foundry was established in Philadelphia in 1888 and operated independently until 1917 when it became one of the many foundries absorbed by American Type Founders. These cast and electrotyped initials and cuts are from the foundry's Catalogue and Specimen Book Keystone Products Consisting of Type, Material Furniture Complete Line of Miscellaneous Supplies for Printers and Publishers published in Philadelphia in 1910. All the initials and cuts shown here were designed by Keystone's own staff except for the Meridale and Lotus Initials which were licensed to Keystone.

This catalogue was copy No. 5351 and according to its bookplate was the property of Keystone and was only lent out, not sold or given, to a printer/publisher, and was expected to be returned "intact and in good condition, reasonable wear expected." Someone clearly did not follow those instructions, as several specimens have been cut from the catalogue's pages as can be seen in the Caslon Bold Page Ornaments.

Typography research

Now that I have my content for the book finished, I need to start researching and looking at typography to use for the book. I found these two typefaces on the website Fonts In Use. Herold AKA Reklameschrift Herold was first cast in 1901, which is around the same time period that Weber was film making. The style of the typeface also really reminded me of the ones used in film posters of that era - bold, condensed, typically used for titles and headings. It would contrast well with a serif body copy.

Crayonette was designed by Henry Brehmer and released by the Keystone Type Foundry in 1889. The name could be derived from Crayon, a related design by Hermann Ihlenburg released in 1886 by MacKellar, Smiths & Jordan.

I really love the feminine feel to the typeface, maybe because it looks slightly italic, and the curled tails and terminals. This typeface is relevant because it was created in a similar era to Weber, 1889. I can definitely see it being used for big headings and titles.

Sssaalemm, 2014

“The letterforms were based off of a type specimen produced by Keystone Type Foundry in the early 1900s, called Salem. The book is a playful experiment with font digitization and the ‘specimen’ format. Sssaalemm was produced at Gerrit Rietveld Academie for David Bennewith’s typography class.” (source: email)
