Cabazon, the typeface, is an informal blackletter inspired by handlettering samples from many sources, and various time periods. Works by Rudolf Koch and Friedrich Heinrichsen are reflected, as well as the work of showcard lettering artists Ross Gerorge and Samuel Welo. Medieval manuscript samples were also helpful in developing this style.
It was designed in 2005 by Jim Parkinson. Originally released as a Type 1 font, Cabazon was refreshed (version2) and re-released as simple Open Type in 2012.
