About
Originally released in 2002 and inspired by Atkinson lettering traditions, this updated version adds lowercase characters and four additional style variants. The five-font set covers Regular, Spurs, Rough, Shadow and Full, giving designers a range of finishes from clean block lettering to distressed and dimensional treatments. It suits American historical, Western and vintage printing contexts.
Classification
A decorative block lettering display face in the American wood type tradition, featuring spur and shadow variants typical of nineteenth-century job printing styles. Its half-block construction and rough alternates place it firmly in the ornamental display category.
