HWT Archimedes was designed by James Grieshaber and published by Hamilton Wood Type Foundry.
HWT Archimedes contains 5 styles and family package options.
Archimedes is a wood type design sometimes known as Mansard. This particular version was brought back to life as a wood type font by Virgin Wood Type. The variation with screw heads in the design was first seen in 1879 by the William H. Page Co. This new digital version is a simultaneous release with Virgin Wood Type and features a variety of styles including the standard screw head option-plus a Phillips head, Hex/Allen Wrench head, and even the vexing Apple® pentalobe tamper reistant star screw.
The result is a sturdy and industrial font that has a certain "joie de vivre" and "bling" attitude. Not for every designer, but you know this is for YOU!
As a bonus, the screwheads themselves are accessible via a glyph palette, so you can put the screws to Comic Sans, or any other font, if you so desire.
