RV SHADDICK
2 Weights + 2 Italics + 2 backslanted Italics. ADVANCED
RV SHADDICK is our revival of a beautiful piece of gold leafed vernacular shop sign lettering on black glass from East London – This precise Art Deco beauty married with a constructed and contemporary look, is now available as a full digital alphabet in 2 master upright widths (ONE + TWO) with no less than two accompanying Italic styles – A conventional 20° Italic and a backslanted -20° Italic also! (Reverse Italic). Although a novelty, backslanted Italics can be found in many historical specimen books (example: Figgins Seven Lines Pica, No. 2). RV SHADDICK (we kept the name shown on the original sign) is available in 6 pre-defined styles as well as a single Variable Font, giving you the control. Be advised that not all applications support Variable Fonts. Please email us if you need this specific font format.
