Prohibition specimen from Fort Foundry

A vintage sans in eight styles by Mattox Shuler, drawn from early twentieth-century war and workforce poster lettering.

About

Prohibition takes the clean geometry of early sans letterforms and gives them a worn, printed character through its Rough and Round variants. Eight styles cover Lines, Regular, Round and Rough, each with an oblique companion, offering a useful range for display and poster work. Discretionary catchwords and stylistic alternates add period flavour.

Classification

A vintage-styled geometric sans with no serifs, drawing from early twentieth-century war and workforce poster lettering. The inclusion of stylistic alternates, rough and round variants reinforces its display-oriented, retro character.
