“Greenstone is a double homage by type designer Connor Davenport: first to Oscar Ogg’s vernacular lettering style, second to the stone carving of American John Howard Benson and his British counterpart David Kindersley. While perfectly serviceable as a model alphabet for carving in stone, Greenstone is a typographic expression of an ancient and sacred tradition of lettering, wherein a plethora of exquisite vernacular styles has developed over the centuries thanks to the improvisational nature of use-specific composition.”
