Lexington by Canada Type is an art deco display script that channels the glamorous typography of 1920s and 1930s Manhattan. Drawn from a 1926 Ludwig Wagner typeface originally called Titanic, this revival expands the source material into something far more versatile and refined. The character set pairs bold, sweeping capitals with tighter lowercase forms, creating a distinctive balance rarely seen in typefaces from this era. Ornate ascending and descending swashes add visual flourish and drama when needed, while the core letterforms remain grounded and readable even at display sizes.

The typeface works beautifully wherever period elegance is the goal: luxury wine labels, theater playbills, upscale restaurant branding, and art deco book covers all gain personality from Lexington's confident voice. Hand-lettering enthusiasts and graphic designers also reach for it when creating retro music merchandise and high-end product packaging for boutiques and specialty retailers. The feature set runs deep. Beyond the main style, you get a Handtooled variation, extensive alternates for both capitals and lowercase characters, three different comma and period sizes, oldstyle numerals, and support for Baltic, Celtic, Turkish, and Central/Eastern European languages.
