Canyon specimen from 6TM Magazine

An all-caps hand-drawn display face by Madeline O'Donoghue, originally created for a potter's logo and expanded into a 79-glyph alphabet with thick, bottom-heavy letterforms and a 1970s western character.

About

Canyon Hand Drawn draws from desert landscapes, adobe architecture and the physical weight of clay, translating those qualities into chunky, grounded letterforms. Originally conceived as a custom logo for a potter, the design was extended into a full uppercase alphabet with numbers, punctuation and symbols. The result suits projects with a Santa Fe, roadside or handcraft feel, where a subtly retro and earthy tone is required.

Classification

An all-caps, hand-lettered display face with thick, bottom-heavy letterforms and a western vernacular aesthetic. The organic, chunky construction places it firmly in the hand-drawn display category rather than any conventional typographic tradition.
