Cotrell CF Free Font is an extrabold sans serif display font and is suitable for posters, advertising, logos, headlines, signage and greeting cards. I found the original metal typeface, Matthews, in Specimen Book and Catalog, published by the Inland Type Foundry (May 1902). It appears to be in the public domain. I suppressed Matthew’s boisterous flares on several glyphs to give COTRELL a more contemporary feel; the lower case “f” and “g” were completely redesigned for the same reason. (N.B.: the swashes for “e,” “h” “m” and “n” have right angled alternates for the more cautious typographer.)
Besides the swashes, I found other design features of the original typeface especially attractive: 1. Slanted top serifs, whether straight lines or subtle curves; and, 2. the glyph “e” which looks like a hybrid of a swash and an italic.
