Garner
Letterhead Fonts · Duncan Wilkie
A three-weight gothic font drawn from 1950s American sign-painting, designed to pass as genuine hand-lettering on period work.
About
Drawn by Duncan Wilkie, Garner replicates the idiosyncrasies of a skilled sign painter's gothic hand from the mid-twentieth century. The family comes in Light, Regular and Bold, offering enough range for subcopy roles where a mechanical sans-serif would look anachronistic. It suits period packaging, signage and broadcast graphics where a convincing vintage hand is required.
Classification
