About Britannic Font Family ...
Designer: Wagner + Schmidt Foundry, 1901
The Britannic Font Family is part of the Assorted Collection.
Britannic was originally created at the beginning of the 20th Century, and comes by way of the old British foundry, Wagner + Schmidt. Today's digital version of Britannic includes five separate font styles, one of which -- medium compressed -- is an all caps design. Britannic is a sans serif face with a vertical axis and a high degree of stroke contrast, especially in the heavier weights. This typeface exudes a degree of elegance that has not often been matched in the century that has passed since it was first drawn.
