Letterhead Fonts · Denise Bayers
A condensed display face by Denise Bayers that fuses mid-century American retro styling with Western typography, available in five variants including shadow and distressed cuts.
About
The design exploits alternating cap and lowercase height to create a bouncing rhythm when typed in mixed case, a feature that lends itself to signage and poster work. Five variants span the family: Regular, Regular Shadow, Spurs, Spurs Shadow and Distressed, with eight bonus ligatures included across all versions. The condensed proportions allow dense setting without losing the expressive character of the style.
Classification
