Description

Broadway, drawn by MF Benton in 1927, is the archetypal Art Deco typeface. Greg Thompson’s Broadacre pays homage to Benton’s iconic capitals and adds an all-new lowercase and small caps. Choose the right intensity of deco goodness from 25 individual styles in a variety of weights, or with the variable font version.

For additional license options like app, enterprise, multi-user, and self-hosted web, visit Broadacre on Type Network.

Type Designer

Greg Thompson

Greg Thompson is an American typeface designer.
In the late 1980’s he converted a series of existing typefaces to PostScript for forward-looking corporate clients. In 1989 Greg began designing original typefaces for the new retail font market. He formed a decades-long association with The Font Bureau of Boston, and in 2016 launched his own foundry on Type Network.
Greg’s typefaces are part of the visual landscape in: branding, retail product packaging, especially food and cosmetics, restaurants, entertainment, including gaming, music and movie retail packaging and titles, book and magazine covers, and rental housing complexes.
