Gin
Fort Foundry · Mattox Shuler
A vintage display serif by Mattox Shuler, drawing from old bottle typography and classic serif forms across four stylistic variants each with an oblique counterpart.
About
Related to Fort Foundry's Bourbon, Gin shares similar letterforms but is condensed less, giving it a slightly wider presence suited to headlines and packaging. The family offers Regular, Rough, Round and Lines styles, each paired with an oblique, totalling eight styles. Stylistic alternates and broad Latin language support extend its utility for display and editorial work with a heritage character.
Classification
Gin is classified as a serif by the foundry but functions as a display typeface, drawing from old-style serif letterforms and vintage bottle typography rather than any text-oriented tradition.
