Discourse Heavy Shadow Set | Desktop

The Discourse Heavy Shadow Set includes the Fill, Outline, and Shadow versions of the three Heavy widths (9 fonts total).

Although it references classic reverse-contrast wood type associated with the era of the Wild West, the Discourse Heavy Shadow Set by Dave Bailey is the opposite extreme of the Light Shadow Set. These three heavy versions of Discourse concentrate on creating the highest visual impact with the darkest color possible and tight spacing. Layering the Shadow, Outline, and Fill versions provides a fun chromatic effect.

Discourse is best used at large sizes. It looks great on packaging, in headlines, and for assembling colorful logotypes. Individual glyphs are powerful as isolated design elements like drop caps or icons.
