Whitehall Pro Regular

Typefaces like Whitehall Pro were used extensively at the turn of the century in advertising on both sides of the Atlantic. The letterforms have an antiquated feel to them; their proportions seem slightly inspired by the art nouveau movements that were abounding during the time of their conception.

Whitehall Pro Extra Bold Condensed and Whitehall Pro Elongated are both superb examples of condensed serif display faces. Their ovular forms both appear somewhat egg like. Whitehall Pro Ultra Heavy bears similarities to Cooper Black , a more modern, American-style typeface that was created 20 years later.
