Bluegrass specimen from Letterhead Fonts

A vintage Americana display face with sweeping curls and split serifs, drawn from hand-lettering traditions and suited to signs, labels and logos.

About

Drawn by vintage lettering specialist Mark Searfoss from pencil sketches, Bluegrass comes in three variants: a Regular and two ornamental caps cuts, Fancy and Fancy Spur, which add elaborate split serifs and decorative flourishes. Each glyph is manually kerned with minimal anchor points, preserving the fluid quality of the original hand-drawn letterforms. The style sits squarely in the tradition of 19th-century American commercial lettering.

Classification

A decorative display face with sweeping sharp curls and split serifs, rooted in vintage American sign-painting and hand-lettering traditions. The Fancy and Fancy Spur variants add ornamental cap treatments typical of 19th-century Americana display lettering.
