Old Letterpress Type

by Doug Sheets · Website

Old Letterpress Type is a heavy, condensed slab serif from Doug Sheets with the worn ink spread and rough edges of real metal type pressed hard into cheap paper stock. The uppercase-only letterforms carry that unmistakable Victorian-era broadside energy, thick and slightly battered, with enough texture to feel genuinely printed rather than digitally distressed. Built for headlines, posters, and vintage branding where you want type that looks like it's been sitting in a compositor's drawer for a century.
