“Comrade is based on a postcard handlettered in 1923 by Antwerp artist Josef Peeters. Jim Parkinson liked the design and expanded it into a family offering one weight in three widths. Simulating the irregularities of letters made by hand, the forms vary from style to style and from upper to lowercase. Parkinson prefers the font to be set with no leading or minus leading, so that one line almost butts up against the lines above or below.” [Font Bureau, 1998]
