Old Bones - Hand-Drawn Display Font
About
Old Bones grows out of antique engraving, skull-and-crossbones woodcuts, and weathered tavern signage. It's a hand-drawn display font where the terminals swell into knobby, bone-shaped serifs. Every letter is drawn by hand, so the edges keep a rough, uneven character, reading like old print pulled off a worn block. The construction is a sturdy uppercase serif, and the staggered rhythm gives it a theatrical, slightly eerie presence once the type goes big.
The font works best in short, loud settings. It maintains a strong silhouette even when the print turns gritty, making it a natural fit for anything with a maritime, horror, or old-world edge.
