Westbury Press

Westbury Press is a Victorian decorative serif — the kind of woodtype face that ran across 19th-century circus broadsides and apothecary tonic bottles.

Bold high-contrast strokes with bracketed serifs, a small flourish at the cap terminals, and an italic that leans confidently without losing its weight. Caps carry an art-nouveau curl on the K, R, and S; lowercase descenders extend just enough to give phrases room to breathe.

Picture it pasted at dawn to a railway-station hoarding, or pressed in red ink across a magic-show handbill at the corner of two market streets.

The font is built with advanced OpenType functionality and guaranteed top-notch quality, containing stylistic and contextual alternates, ligatures and more automatic and manual features; all to give you full control and customizability. It has extensive lingual support, covering all Latin-based languages, from North Europa to South Africa, from America to South-East Asia. It contains all characters and symbols you'll ever need, including all punctuation and numbers.
