Bostonian specimen from Letterhead Fonts

A late 19th-century-inspired display face by Mark Searfoss, built around layered outline and shadow fonts, swashed capitals and 171 alternates per set.

About

Bostonian draws from American lettering of the 1880s and 1890s, pairing graceful strokes with decorative swashes and flourishes suited to logotypes, signage and packaging. The family is structured across three numbered sets, each offering lowercase and small-caps variants with corresponding outline and shadow layers for composited effects. The complete set totals 13 fonts, all including an extensive alternate glyph palette for customisation.

Classification

A layered display face with swashes, flourishes and decorative capitals rooted in late 19th-century American lettering traditions, designed for signage and packaging rather than body text.
