Dave Bailey's 24-font reverse-contrast superfamily, a modern take on the wood types of the Wild West.
About
Discourse comes in Light and Heavy across Narrow, Middle and Wide, and every one of those has shadow, outline and fill versions for layering. The heavy weights pack thick horizontals and tight spacing into very dark, even lines; the light weights go the other way and lose the heavy bars entirely. Bailey started it after hearing a track called 'Dust and Buried Bones: A Western Fantasy'.
Classification
A reverse-contrast superfamily after Wild West wood type, reworked with a neo-modern feel. Heavy weights carry thick horizontals and tight spacing; light weights drop the heavy horizontals altogether. Three widths, each with shadow, outline and fill layers.
