About
Designed by Denise Bayers, Bandit draws on the lettering style of Sanborn fire insurance maps, translating their bold, slightly ornate character into a digital type set. The five-font package includes Regular, Overlay, Distressed, Drop Shadow and Block Shadow cuts, along with bonus alternates and ligatures available across all versions. The layering approach allows for combined effects when fonts are stacked.
