Sickle FONT Download
Designer: Dave Rowland
Publisher: Schizotype
The Wild West meets Russia and India in this heavy duty display face. Although it’s uppercase only, most of the characters vary between the uppercase and lowercase alphabets, so it’s easy to give your text a hand-made feel by mixing up your cases. OpenType savvy applications can really exploit the extra features of this font. Engage contextual alternates, and G, C, L and alternate form of E will change when placed before a letter with a crossbar to create some cool effects (see the CK and LE combinations in the poster). There are standard ligatures for ff and FF combinations, and discretionary ligatures for ‘and’, ‘the’, ‘No’, ‘Mc’ and ‘Co’. Engage stylistic alternates for a reversed 3 version of E, and the obligatory backwards R for that faux-Russian effect. Also included in the font is a host of ornaments.
This font is perfect for wanted posters, heavy metal band logos, Communist propaganda leaflets and no doubt a load of other things too.
