Hombre is a sure-fire attention-getter. Drawn by Thomas Oldfield and loosely based on popular typefaces of the 19th century, Hombre offers all the gun-slinging swagger and rugged style of Jesse James and his crew of outlaws. But, like John Wayne, it’s at home in a lot more places than just westerns.
This two-weight family (each with an italic sidekick) can be the ideal choice when you’re looking for an authentic, weather-beaten, time-ravaged – and a bit haphazard – typeface. Think: advertising and brochures for outdoor projects and sporting goods, headings and banners for web sites dedicated to camping, hiking, trekking and off-road biking. Hombre is also a natural for book covers, posters and packaging.
