Oilvare

From Adam Ladd Design

Oilvare is a hand-drawn, layered family inspired by vintage painted signs and oil cans. While sturdy, it has a softer side — wide proportions, oval-inspired forms, curled angle strokes, and a medium contrast all help distinguish it from the typical sans serif genre. Mix, match, and layer the styles to your aesthetic liking. The separate highlight and shadow options help the typeface come alive when colors are used with the solid styles — or choose the individual styles with already added details.
