Fanwood Text
Fanwood Text - Barry Schwartz
Designers Note
Fanwood Text is a classic serif font originally designed for body text, offering a timeless and elegant appearance. With its high readability and balanced proportions, it is ideal for long paragraphs, books, and formal documents. The font features subtle stroke contrast and traditional serif elements that add sophistication to any design. Freeware versions are widely used in both print and digital media, making it a popular choice for designers seeking a refined typographic look.
Fanwood Text is a revival of Fairfield, the typeface first published in 1940 and designed by Rudolph Ruzicka, a famous Czech-American type designer. The roman and italic are slightly darker and reduced in contrast than the original; this was tailored for increased readability on the Amazon Kindle 3 e-book reader hardware.
