A relaxed, simplified blackletter by Jim Parkinson, first published in 2005 and drawn from his years of newspaper nameplates.
About
Cabazon trims the usual blackletter detail down to friendlier forms and lets a bit of hand-lettered swagger through. Parkinson looked to Koch, Ross George and Samuel Welo while drawing it. Version 3.0 runs to over 1,000 glyphs and 336 languages, with alternates and discretionary ligatures.
Classification
An informal, simplified blackletter that keeps the warmth of hand lettering, drawing on Rudolf Koch, Ross George and Samuel Welo rather than any single historical model.
