About Newshound Font

Based on the Headline and Caption styles of the Los Angeles Times from the 1930s to 1970s, Newshound delightfully captures the inconsistency and grunginess of metal type printed on cheap, absorbent newsprint. 

Three versions of each letter, and two versions of each number and punctuation mark, cycle automatically to create a random, natural printed appearance.

Each weight includes Stylistic Alternates for extra design options, along with support for 221 languages.
