COIGN COLOPHON FOUNDRY ABOUT 2
47 Bold 48pt Coign is an extensive study of condensed forms based on the DeLittle
type foundry’s Elongated Sans. DeLittle’s type — extending far beyond
the realms of legibility — challenges conventional letterforms,
pushing the notion of what is ‘condensed’ to the absolute limit.
A quoin, coyne, coigne or, in this case, Coign, is a wedge-like

Super condensed designs are typically limited to a small
range of styles as part of a much larger family, whereas Coign offers
28 styles — comprising of seven weights in four different widths —
all of them super condensed.
