Raided Premises
displayhand-rendered display
A two-weight hand-rendered display face drawn from the police notice posted at The Stonewall Inn following the 1969 raid.
About
The letterforms are taken directly from a piece of historical signage: the notice police posted at The Stonewall Inn in 1969. Released in two weights, the family carries an explicit political and cultural context that gives it a specificity most display faces lack. Best suited to editorial, activist or commemorative work where the historical reference adds meaning rather than noise.
Classification
Hand-rendered lettering based on a specific historical signage source, placing it firmly in the display category as a decorative, contextually loaded typeface rather than a text face.
