Ridewell by Kostas Bartsokas
"Ridewell is inspired by woodblock type," says its designer Kostas Bartsokas (opens in new tab). "However the first spark of inspiration came from the poster below. Apparently it was some metal type that was used, but in any case, it got me thinking of a nice compressed wood type.
"I started working on it and eventually created the whole alphabet. It felt nice, but in the same time it looked quite old. I wanted to do something more edgy with it, so I started experimenting with the ligatures to give it a more contemporary feel and to add some uniqueness in the usage possibilities."
Ridewell is available to purchase from Ten Dollar Fonts (opens in new tab), where you can currently benefit from a 20 per cent discount until 19 Oct, 2014.
