Elixir 2
Letterhead Fonts · Mark Searfoss
A six-font layered display family by Mark Searfoss, designed to replicate authentic late 1800s and early 1900s label and sign lettering with Regular, Inset, Shadow, Faded and Wood variants.
About
Built for designers recreating vintage Americana labels and signage, the family is constructed to be layered, with inset, shadow, faded and wood texture fonts aligning precisely over the Regular. This second version corrects alignment issues from the original, improves kerning and adds bonus alternate glyphs alongside two new styles. The result is a period-faithful toolkit for commercial retro work rather than a single decorative typeface.
Classification
A multi-layered decorative display family modelled on late 1800s and early 1900s hand-lettered signage and label typography, with layered inset, shadow, faded and wood texture variants typical of the Victorian and Edwardian commercial lettering tradition.
