About
Tarantula draws on Old West lettering traditions, with each character individually crafted for balance and legibility. The two variants allow designers to switch between polished and distressed aesthetics within the same family. The generous alternate glyph set of 104 characters per style gives scope for varied typesetting across posters, logos and short-form copy.
Classification
