Sidestroke Font

Sidestroke comes in 3 weights and 2 styles. Light, Regular and Bold fonts are paired with an outlined version for each of them.

The typeface is inspired by my love of old hand-painted signs in butchers, and based on some very quick sketches using a brush pen to find what shapes worked. There is quite a quirky element to the type, as I tried to create my original sketches by rotating the brush pen at times. This lead to a horizontal stressing, which is most noticeable in letters like C, G, S and J.
