Font Family by Harold's Fonts
Includes 2 Font Styles from $19.95
View Purchase OptionsThe BENSFOLK fonts were inspired by the work of the artist Ben Shahn. He was a political activist, a painter, and a calligrapher, among many talents.
One of the lettering styles Shahn used was derived from the work of amateur sign painters. As trained artists often react to the work of so-called naive or folk artists, he found their crude beauty to be “cacophonous and utterly unacceptable. Being so it is irresistibly interesting.” Shahn used this lettering to represent the speech of the common person, and it blended perfectly with his pen work Shahn also lived to see his work–itself derived from earlier sources–used as a starting point by others.
Each complete font includes two of each letter in the upper- and lowercase positions so you can get an ever more hand-lettered feel.
BENSFOLK was originally created in 1997 for The Arts Center of the Capital Region.
