Der Herausgeber versprach, sein Bestes zu tun für den schriftstellerischen Kollegen. Etwas verwunderlich wollt es ihm nun wohl bedünken, als sein Freund ihm gestand, daß das Manuskript von einem Kater, Murr geheißen, herrühre, und dessen Lebensansichten enthalte; das Wort war jedoch gegeben, und da der Eingang der Historie ihm ziemlich gut stilisiert schien, so lief er sofort, mit dem Manuskript in der Tasche.Der Herausgeber versprach, sein Bestes zu tun für den schriftstellerischen Kollegen.

Покойный А. В. Сутягин: "Бывают ли у вас, Любочка, такие состояния, при которых буквально все, что происходит с вами и вокруг вас – вон старушка – видите? – что-то ищет в сумке, а вон кошка забежала за угол, – что все это исполнено какого-то великого и тайного смысла, который, кажется, сделай лишь малое усилие – и поймешь сразу и навсегда? Что, простите?"Покойный А. В.

About

Originally designed by Paul Barnes as headline type for the British magazine of fashion Harper’s & Queen, of Hearst Magazines UK, Austin is a loose revival of the typefaces cut by Richard Austin in the late 18th century.

Referencing Austin’s original creation, Paul Barnes turned up the contrast, tightened the spacing and came up with a fresh, new, bold and beautiful look for the constantly changing world of fashion.

Barnes himself describes the face as “a British Modern with the styling and sheen of New York in the 1970s.”

The Cyrillic version was designed in 2009 and 2016 by Ilya Ruderman (CTSM Fonts).
