A six-style heavy display family drawn from the idiosyncratic vernacular lettering traditions of the English counties, spanning block sans to unicase and chunky scripts.
About
Each of the six styles takes its name from an English county and maintains a constant heavy weight, making them individually distinctive yet compatible when mixed within a single word or headline. The range spans simple block sans through to more playful unicase and script treatments, all grounded in observed British sign-painting and vernacular letterforms. Script coverage extends beyond Latin to include Cyrillic, Greek and Arabic, explored in the related Shire Pro and Shire Arabic families.
Classification
A multi-style display family rooted in British vernacular lettering traditions, encompassing block sans, unicase and script variants all at a consistent heavy weight. The range of styles and playful character place it firmly in the display category.
