About
Castlerock takes its cues from the distinctive hand-lettered Gothic style found on Sanborn fire insurance maps produced in the early twentieth century. The family ships as two stylistic versions, giving users a degree of variation for titling and decorative applications. Its vernacular source material lends it an authenticity that separates it from generic Gothic revivals.
Classification
A decorative Gothic-influenced display face inspired by early 1900s Sanborn Map Company lettering, placing it firmly in the display category with historical vernacular Gothic references rather than traditional blackletter.
