About the Product
Say hello to the G85-ES 'Rough Shadow' typeface – a companion shadow font to use with the Generic G80-RD 'Standard' typeface.
This is an individual typeface from the Generic Typeface Collection of 11 fonts available here as a bundle: https://creativemarket.com/more-etc/5981130-Generic-Typeface-Collection
How to use:
- Make sure you also have the Generic G80-RD 'Standard' typeface, available here: https://creativemarket.com/more-etc/7339098-Generic-G80-RD-Standard
- Use a professional design application (like Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Indesign etc.)
- Put your regular text object Generic G80-RD 'Standard' and your shadow text object (G85-ES 'Rough Shadow') on top of each other (or on separate layers).
- Enjoy!
Having the shadows separate from the main typeface adds another layer of expressiveness in that you can try out color combinations for that extra splendor.
Tips for matching shadow font with base font:
Set the kerning on both fonts to Metric, not Optical. Increase tracking to accommodate for the shadows extra width. Some applications handle baselines differently. In Adobe Indesign it usually works fine as is. In Adobe Illustrator, if you are using Area Type, you can match the baselines of both fonts using the same First Baseline options in the Area Type settings (or match one of the fonts manually using Baseline Shift in the character settings). In Adobe Photoshop, if you are using a text box, you can match the baselines using Baseline Shift in the character settings.
Font summary:
- Use together with the Generic G80-RD 'Standard' typeface (sold separately).
- Tons of personality
- Great for getting attention
- 228 glyphs
- OTF - OpenType
- WOFF - for use with web license (well, maybe this font will be weird to use on the web though)
The Generic Typeface Collection is a series of sans-serif typefaces inspired by the craftsmanship of graphic design, typesetting, and printing in the analogue era – before Adobe, Macintosh computers and desktop publishing – when dinosaurs ruled the earth. This is an attempt to incorporate spirit and personality into a set of typefaces without losing distinction. You might call it a homage to non-perfection. I call it human.
The Generic Typeface Collection consists of 11 fonts divided into four series. The three standard series – the Formal Release series, the Coarse Copy series, and the Rough Display series – all contain three fonts each. The Extra Splendor series contains a couple of shadow fonts for that little extra sparkle.
