Gardein is the first retail font designed by TPOF co-founder, Chris Caldwell, available through Adobe Fonts. Made possible by the guidance of Troy Leinster as well as 3 years of dedication, Gardein is as whimsical as it is poised.
Built on a Roman foundation, the concave stems are adorned with flared terminals and extra weight on the x-height and baseline, creating a fresh, organic flavor for headlines, short texts, and eco-friendly brand messaging. The family includes five weights, from Light to Extra Bold, and is also available as a variable font for adjusting weight with fine precision.
Gardein takes inspiration from the beautiful book cover design work of Sarah W. Whitman (1842-1904), an American stained glass artist, painter, and designer with an aesthetic influenced heavily by the Arts and Crafts Movement.
