Holtzschue

by David Rakowski · Website

Holtzschue is a decorative serif from David Rakowski that pulls from the Victorian-era tradition of dimensional poster lettering, with built-in shadow effects that give each character a carved, three-dimensional look. The ornamental details and western inflections place it firmly in the world of old saloon signage, circus broadsides, and vintage Americana. Strictly a headline face, best used large on posters, packaging, or anywhere that calls for 19th-century showmanship.
