Clarendon is not campy or Retro, yet it embodies the mid-20th-Century. And maybe that is the secret of its resurgence. Maybe, like the nostalgic bending of reality that attended the Reagan internment, the sudden reflowering of Clarendon reflects a longing for a simpler time — or at least, for a time we can nostalgically pretend was simpler and less dangerous than these days.
Oh Claredon! The font I used repeatedly through my studies has become a personal favourite. When I needed to communicate a clean, yet retro feeling, Clarendon was often my choice. I love the bulbous character of this typeface - it's a strong yet friendly font that really sits well with me.
