Borough Grotesk is a basic revival font, based on the version of Thorowgood Sans Shaded (orig.1839) that can be found in the 1953 Stephenson Blake Specimens of Printing Types. There are several digital iterations of this font in existence, however unlike those, Borough Grotesk contains a regular 'fill' style and several discretionary features to give added flare to your design. And it's free of course. Download it here.
