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
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. Dean Slab preserves the authenticity of historical forms while introducing a contemporary touch. Its bold serifs and commanding proportions honor the raw energy of posters and advertisements from that era. It’s a typeface that embodies the strength and singularity of the American heritage, while being perfectly attuned to modern sensibilities. And because the Dean family wouldn’t be complete without its other face, Dean Gothic offers a sans-serif version.
