Typeface

Windsor is a serif typeface created by Eleisha Pechey (1831-1902) and released by the Stephenson Blake type foundry. It is intended for use such as display and in headings rather than for body text. It is also a representative font of the 1970s, as it was a favorite display typeface in American pop culture during the 1970s. As a point of trivia, Woody Allen was looking for a typeface for Love and Death (1975) and Ed Benguia recommended it to him, and since then it has appeared on every Woody Allen film poster.
