Highwayman is a typeface designed in early 2024, inspired by classic serif styles found in ancient Roman inscriptions or 19th-century American typography, with a modern twist. The sharp, long serifs give the uppercase letters a strong, wide stance, creating a bold, proud look. This makes it ideal for display use in advertising, headlines, or anything that needs a classic yet striking appearance.
At the same time, Highwayman is also a functional text font. The lowercase letters are carefully designed for easy readability, even at smaller sizes. This balance of bold, impactful design and practical readability makes it a versatile typeface for a wide range of uses.
