If Droulers’ inspiration comes from the typewriters imaginary, Droulers Clarendon goes way before, towards the characters of the 19th century press. The project emerges from an uchronian hypothesis: what would be the source of Droulers, if it was used on a Remington No.2 in 1878?
Droulers Clarendon is a fantasized version of Droulers, conceived as Droulers’ original story.
Inspired by the Clarendons/Ionics1, it uses its main rules: rectangular serifs softened by brackets (a curved connection between the stem and serif) and a stronger contrast. Contrary to the original Droulers, Droulers Clarendon has proportional spacing, more adapted to text. It offers a warmer type color and is more flexible.
It keeps the formal specificities of Droulers: filled letters, closed counterpunches, merging serifs.2
Conceived as the source of Droulers while being its younger brother, Droulers Clarendon is a time and typographic paradox, a typeface that rewinds time.
- Slab serifs subcategory, names Clarendons/Ionics in English.
- These formal specificities come from deformations created by the type bar, which hits the ink ribbon on the typewriter to write on the paper. Read the Droulers’ text to learn more.
