“… a collection of six typefaces … [that] bring together a heavy, solid notion of the Industrial Revolution mixed with ideas about specific localities. The individual typefaces take their names from six of the Shires that are grouped together around the Black Country and neighbouring rural areas.” — Jeremy Tankard

While Derbyshire and Staffordshire are relatively straightforward caps-only typefaces, the other four styles exhibit unicase forms – caps mixed with lowercase or uncial glyphs, without any extenders. Derbyshire, Cheshire and Warwickshire are sans-serif, Staffordshire, Shropshire and Worcestershire have (semi) slab serifs. Warwickshire and Worcestershire are more cursive in nature. Expanded to support Greek and Cyrillic (2011) as well as Arabic (2012, together with Mourad Boutros).
