What makes Cushing distinctive is its softened structure: unlike sharper, more rigid serif faces of the same era, its forms are subtly rounded, giving it a gentler, more inviting tone. The serifs are present but not overly pronounced, and the overall proportions strike a balance between readability and personality.
As a revival, Cushing translates these historical qualities into a contemporary digital context. It preserves the texture and character of early American type design while making it usable for modern applications.
