Beyond the infamous oval box, the Shakers' intelligent approach to the creation of useful objects was one of simplicity and practicality. Their culture resulted not only in a now famous furniture style, but many other things that we take for granted. The metal pen nib, the flat broom, the circular saw and a method for waterproofing cloth are a few of their innovations. The Shaker typeface pays homage to the fullness of their vision.
