About Bulldog Font Family ...
Designer: Adrian Williams, 1989
The Bulldog Font Family is part of the Assorted Collection.

One hundred years later in 1989 this style was celebrated with a design named Bulldog in recognition of the role played by these two pioneering typefounders. The Bulldog font echoes many features of the Gothic and Grotesque models, influenced heavily by Figgins sans serif of 1870, instantly recreating the flavour of popular display types between 1870 and 1930.
