Silvermane
TrashType · Mark · 2025
A single-weight text serif revival drawn from the typography of Zane Grey's 1910 novel The Heritage of the Desert, rendered with the ink-spread texture of the original printed page rather than the sharpness of the metal punches.
About
Developed during the designer's time at Type@Cooper, Silvermane is an early-stage alpha release with one weight and limited kerning. The revival prioritises the colour and texture of ink on paper over a clean reconstruction of the underlying metal type, giving the face a worn, desert-worn quality suited to period and western-themed settings. Additional weights and styles may follow depending on uptake.
Classification
A text serif revival drawn from typography found in a 1910 western novel, exhibiting the ink-on-substrate texture and colour of metal type printing rather than idealised punch forms. Its warm, worn character places it firmly in the tradition of historical book serifs.
