Black Bart

Black Bart is a beefy wood type–inspired display face built for loud headlines, bold posters, and vintage-flavored branding. Its chunky, confident forms channel classic showcard and western-era typography with a modern, punchy weight that holds up beautifully in large sizes. Set it in ALL CAPS for maximum authority, lean into unicase for quirky character, or mix both for a rowdy, attention-grabbing voice.

Black Bart includes a stash of OpenType features designed to keep your typography feeling handcrafted and less repetitive. Stylistic alternates provide variations for select unicase letters (including A/a, E, N, R) along with handy ligatures for common words like OF, THE, and AND, plus a few starting-letter options for extra personality. Contextual alternates expand the options further by swapping in alternate treatments for those word ligatures and introducing wilder swash variants for letters like Q, V, W, and Y when you want a more flamboyant, poster-ready flourish.

Perfect for western graphics, vintage packaging, band posters, editorial headlines, apparel, signage, event branding, bar and restaurant identities, and any project that wants bold wood type energy with playful typographic tricks built in.
