Sour Mash
Yellow Design Studio · Ryan Martinson
A 28-font all-caps display family drawing on geometric and industrial letterforms, offered in clean and distressed 'Grit' variants with inline cuts across five weights.
About
Sour Mash spans two sub-families: the sharp, clean Sour Mash cuts and the texturally aged Grit versions, which evoke Prohibition-era hand-lettering. Each sub-family runs across five weights from Light to Bold, plus Inline and Inline Alt styles, all with matching italics. The Grit versions include double-letter ligatures to avoid repetitive texture when the same character appears in sequence.
Classification
An all-caps display family rooted in geometric and industrial letterforms with vintage Americana references. The Grit subfamily adds distressed texture evoking Prohibition-era signage, placing it firmly in the display category.
