CITIZEN KERN from Sentinel Type, designed by James Arboghast

Hello, and thanks for downloading Citizen Kern. Citizen Kern is a 21st century interpretation of City.

The slab serif, or egyptienne type style, was introduced around 1815 by Vincent Figgins; at the time it was considered the most brilliant typographic invention of the 19th century, and the style quickly established itself as a favourite for headline and poster work. By the time the Stemple foundry introduced Memphis in 1930, very little had changed, except the progression to monoline stroke. The only place left to go after that was squared letter forms (City) - or was there one last trick left to perform? I could always try the semi-serif treatment, I thought, and that's what you're getting -- a semi-serif squared monoline egyptienne!

Here's what you get:

* Professionally designed commercial quality font
* An upper case (ho boy!)
* A lower case (useful)
* Numerals (also called 'numbers')
* Full punctuation, smart quotes, currency, fractions, superiors etc
* Fully kerned for great letter fit
* Accented Western European characters and a few ligatures
* Windows 1252 Latin 1 character set (see above)
* Fully embeddable for use with Adobe .PDF documents
