Long years ago, before the evil days had dawned,
King Volsung ruled over all the land which lies between the sea and the country of the Goths
THE DAYS WERE GOLDEN
and the good Frey dropped peace and plenty everywhere, and men went in and out and feared no wrong. King Volsung had a dwelling in the midst of fertile fields and fruitful gardens.
Fairer than any dream was that dwelling. The roof was thatched with gold, and red turrets and towers rose above. The great feast-hall was long and high, and its walls were hung with sun-bright shields; and the door-nails were of silver.
In the middle of the hall stood the pride of the Volsungs,—a tree whose blossoms filled the air with fragrance, and whose green branches, thrusting themselves through the ceiling, covered the roof with fair foliage. It was Odin’s tree, and King Volsung had planted it there with his own hands.

Information
The Dean family is a vibrant tribute to the musical and cinematic culture of mid-20th century America. These typefaces, rooted in the legacy of wood types and period posters, reflect an era of intense creativity when design served as the voice of a culture in full swing. With its two subfamilies, Slab and Gothic, and a total of 200 styles, Dean is far more than just a typeface, it’s a creative tool that transcends time and usage, paying homage to the energy and freedom of a pivotal moment in American cultural history. With its sharp, precise forms, Dean Gothic retains historical subtleties while embodying a timeless and understated modernity. It continues the typographic tradition of combining functionality with strong aesthetics, echoing the rebellious and free-spirited soul of the cultural events of that time. For a complementary design with a strong visual impact, explore Dean Slab, which encapsulates the robustness and authenticity of American wood types.
