“Drawing inspiration from W.A. Dwiggins and Eric Gill, book designer Kent Lew has treated classical design traits with a spartan finish to create award-winning Whitman, honored in 2002 by TDC. Even-tempered in text, stately and striking in display, it is refreshing in its simplicity — at once familiar and unique. Truly refined in concept, meticulous in detail, Whitman is a welcome addition to the palette of the discriminating typographer.” — Font Bureau, 2003-08.
Officially released in July 2023. Originally available from Font Bureau, Whitman was moved to the designer’s own label in 2024.
