Originally released as a Type 1 font, Fresno was refreshed (version2) and re-released as simple Open Type in 2013.

Fresno is loosely based on sign painter’s and poster artists lettering styles of the mid-20th century. Similar styles appear in lettering books of the time, particularly the work of Ross F. George and Samuel Welo. Fresno, © Copyright, 2001. Parkinson Type Design.
