Claimcheck

Claimcheck, as its name implies, is modeled after the numbers on claim stubs used by dry cleaners, parking garages, and checkrooms the world over. In the days before digital typography, claimchecks and other ephemera were printed by automatic numbering machines, whose rotating cylinders bore equal-width numbers of an unadorned but memorable style. Since the specific shapes of these numbers differed from one manufacturer to the next, we compared a number of different sources to create a design that recalls the frank but colorful vernacular of ephemeral printing.
