Bad Guy Black

by Cumberland Fontworks · Website

Bad Guy Black is a heavy, ornamental display face from Cumberland Fontworks with an engraved stripe effect cut through each letterform, giving it the look of vintage woodtype or old circus poster lettering. The bold weight and decorative detailing pack a lot of visual punch, best suited for headlines and large-format work where the inline texture can really come through. It reads as distinctly old-fashioned and theatrical, the kind of type you'd expect to find on a saloon sign or a Victorian-era broadside.
