Barstow is a revival of one of the wildest Tuscan wood types to grace the Victorian era, Gothic Tuscan Italian. Originally designed by Darius Wells and showcased in the Wells & Webb 1854 sale memoranda, this highly-decorative reverse-contrast, unicase display type family features highly flared stems and trifurcated serifs.
Barstow's Regular style revives the classic, expanding the original 47 characters to over 500, adding Latin language support, punctuation, maths, symbols and decorative icons.
The Shadow style tracks regular, with a 3D shadow style the Victorians would have called a modulated outline.
Xtra is the family's dingbat style, with tons of hearts, stars, rainbows, flowers, google eyes, faces and more.
Barstow's exuberant forms work best in short headlines at larger sizes, making it ideal for posters, t-shirts, and editorial usage in print or digital.
