Gloversville is a casual marker handwritten style font. Originating from some turn of the century letters to a defunct blinds and shutters company in Gloversville, NY, what began as a limited reference of Capitals, lowercase, numbers and punctuation was expanded to a full typeface with an expanded language glyph set. It contains a unique mixing of capitals and lowercase in the lowercase glyph slots to create a unique typesetting feel. Perfect for a range of designs that require a heavy handed personal touch.

Sometimes the inspiration for my typefaces comes from the strangest places, and this is the perfect example of that. I had purchased a collection of correspondence letters to a woman named Roberta, regarding shutters and blinds in Gloversville. The unique style of lettering that blended capitals and lowercase in a flat nib marker caught my eye instantly. Such an odd lettering style for the early 1900's. It was fun experimenting with mixed forms for the lowercase until I came across the combination that felt most appropriate. I hope you'll have as much fun using the font as I had creating it.
