Furius
Typogama · Michael Parson · 2014
A split-serif display typeface referencing woodcut and chiselled inscription lettering from the western genre, available in Regular and Title cuts with matching italics and broad Latin and Cyrillic coverage.
About
Furius draws on the forked, split-serif letterforms found in roman stone inscriptions and American western woodcut printing, translating that heritage into a digital display face with OpenType feature support. Four styles span Regular and Title variants, each with italics, offering some typographic range within a single expressive character. Extended Latin and Cyrillic glyph sets make it more broadly applicable than most typefaces in this genre.
Classification
A display typeface built around the split serif construction drawn from woodcut and chiselled roman inscription lettering, popularised through western genre typography. The forked serifs give it a distinctly ornamental, period-specific character that places it firmly in the display category.
