About
Designed by veteran sign artist Steve Contreras, Folklore offers Regular and Bold weights alongside corresponding Inset fonts that sit inside the main letterforms, simplifying colour separation in multi-colour designs. Each font contains over 180 alternate characters, giving considerable flexibility when composing tight, well-fitted display settings. The overall aesthetic draws on the American sign-painting tradition.
