Bourbon
Fort Foundry · Mattox Shuler
A condensed display serif drawn from old whiskey bottle lettering, offered in clean, rough and inline variants.
About
Designed by Mattox Shuler, Bourbon takes its cues from the hand-lettered typography found on American whiskey packaging, with tall condensed letterforms that suit headlines, labels and signage. Six styles cover a clean regular and oblique, a distressed rough pair and a lines variant with inline detailing. The rough styles are intended for large sizes with smooth anti-aliasing, and the foundry recommends pairing with script or distressed textures.
Classification
Described as a condensed display serif inspired by old whiskey bottle lettering, with rough and inline variants that make it unsuitable for body text use. Its heritage-americana character and distressed styles place it firmly in the display category.
