Based on the middle sizes of Fournier’s body of work, Corundum Text’s generous capitals and strong color on the page mark it unequivocally as a text face in the Neoclassic style: when stripped of its letterpress veneer, a quiet, crisp brilliance emerges. Expanding upon the utility of Fournier’s designs for prose and poetry, Corundum Text includes two heavier weights, each with a fully-equipped arsenal of italics and small capitals, suitable for subtle, immersive text settings or robust display with a literary touch.
Founded by Joshua Darden, we publish work that we want to experience in the hands of others and to use ourselves. Darden Studio membership signifies an affinity for the brand started by Joshua Darden and continued by Joyce Ketterer (most members have multiple projects in multiple places but regard the studio as a kind of second home.).
We pursue typography that is the result of earnest inquiry, suited to contemporary technical and design expectations, and rooted in the values and practices of five centuries of typefounding. Good typography withstands the whims of fashion. It is aware of its time and place but functioning far into the future.
