About the family


Bristles captures the look of painted letters that have weathered years in the sun, rain, and wind—strokes still clinging stubbornly to the surface beneath. Each character carries the uneven density of real brushwork, with edges softened by time and flecks worn away by the elements. It’s the moment just before the sign gives in completely, when the lettering still tells its story in full but wears every season it has endured.

Whether imagined on sun-bleached wood, corroded metal, faded glass, or chipped concrete, Bristles brings that tactile, layered history into your design. Its textured strokes hold up at large sizes for dramatic headlines, yet remain legible and expressive in smaller applications. Built-in ligatures keep repeated letters from feeling mechanical, ensuring the rhythm stays as natural as a sign painter’s hand.

Perfect for boutique beverage labels, immersive set design, heritage brand packaging, experiential event signage, or title graphics for period and documentary projects, Bristles delivers a warmth and realism that clean digital type can’t match. With support for most Latin-based European languages, it carries its weathered authenticity across borders.

Bristles doesn’t just suggest age—it makes your words feel like they’ve lived a life.
