S&s Nickson Font ((top)) -

Perfect for breweries, coffee shops, or heritage-style clothing brands.

This gave the font a distinct optical quality. The edges were incredibly sharp, yet the projection of light through glass gave the characters a slight "halo" or "blooming" effect when printed. The Nickson was designed to exploit this. Its serifs were slightly bracketed to prevent them from disappearing at small sizes, and its stroke contrast was adjusted to withstand the chemical development process of the paper.
