Barstow Type Family
Barstow is my revival of the 1854 Wells & Webb reverse-contrast woodtype sensation, Gothic Tuscan Italian. The family contains three styles:
Regular, modeled after the original;
Shadow, an outline font with a slight 3D shadow (or as the Victorians would say, a ‘modulated outline’);
Xtra, a dingbat font with all the gems and icons a designer could want including hearts, stars, rainbows, funky arrows and hands.
Features include robust Latin language support, symbols and decorative icons, as well as thoughtful OpenType features like substitution and alternates that make designing a breeze.
Barstow is great for short emphatic bursts of text in branding, headlines, deep thoughts and eye-catching quotes at 36pts and larger.
