Steelyard™ Counters Oblique

Steelyard is a design based on an old type style found on a hotel luggage label from the early 20th century. As the lettering on old luggage labels (on which these fonts designs were based) was often done by hand, this font family has been designed with a deliberate attempt to maintain that slightly flawed hand-drawn element, which gives the characters a pleasing stress which would have been lost if the characters had been overly cleaned up. Inconsistancies in the character outlines and slightly skewed or distorted letters give these fonts a vibrant quality which we hope you will appreciate. All of the Steelyard alphabetical characters are uppercase, but there are different versions of the letters in each of the upper and lowercase character slots. While some of the differences are rather subtle, there are some notable differences, particularly in the A, B, C, G, K, M, P, Q, R, S and Z. In the PC version of this font family the style names are slightly different from those used in the Mac versions. But the fonts are otherwise identical.
