I always wanted a larger

I always wanted a larger family of just the fill. Love that typeface!

I feel like I’m meant to

I feel like I’m meant to apologize for not noticing it earlier. My only excuse is that it’s now all over the metro with that accounting firm campaign, so it bubbled up through my subconscious on a few long trips on the Orange Line.

One of the reasons it’s

One of the reasons it’s uneven is that it’s meant to be the method for coloring the fill on Rosewood. Fascinating how popular it’s become. I guess it shows that there’s a demand for imperfect wood stuff.

Kate, this kind of typeface

Kate, this kind of typeface is used very often like Mike said, even in Montreal where you took that picture. It appeared just after the “circus types” like Zebrawood and Rosewood Regular back in 2001-2002.

One could argue about

One could argue about whether it’s fashion or rather availability, as Rosewood comes bundled with Adobe software.
It really is a nice typeface, charmingly uneven.

Very true, Kate ... and you

Very true, Kate ... and you are certainly welcome.

Fashions vary depending

Fashions vary depending where you live. Thanks.

Rosewood Fill. It’s not

Rosewood Fill. It’s not just lately ... it has been rather popular for two or three years now.

Clarendon variant?

This Clarendon variant is all over the place lately, but I can’t pin it down. Please excuse metro phone-cam type shot.
