Paint Factory specimen from Simple Bits

An all-caps display typeface drawn from the weathered hand-painted lettering on a 19th-century marine paint factory in Gloucester Harbour, Massachusetts.

About

Available in Regular and Bold, it covers A–Z, numerals, basic punctuation and a handful of alternate glyphs. The deliberate roughness and angular bends of the source lettering are preserved throughout, lending it credibility in signage, athletic and collegiate contexts. It suits sweatshirt graphics, blue-collar branding or any project that calls for the character of layers of hand-applied paint.

Classification

An all-caps hand-painted display face with deliberate roughness and imperfection, inspired by weathered signage lettering on a 19th-century New England building. Its angular forms and worn texture place it firmly in the vintage display category.
