Spade was designed by Patrick Griffin, Kevin King and published by Canada Type. Spade contains 2 styles and family package options.
A digitization of Quadra 57 by Karl-Heinz Domning in 1974.
It’s big. It’s very big. Spade is a double whammy of pure slab footprint, sharp and soft, cowboy and cowgirl, country and western, shot and chaser, settlement and new frontier. It’s also quite modern in many aspects, not the least of which are the many curvy alternates included, and the smooth flow of the biform shapes when used with the main caps.
Clocking in at over 670 characters per font, Spade comes loaded with very comprehensive Latin-based language support and OpenType features up to the hilt.
