Baldwin Locomotive Works 1875-1876 "Eureka-Style" Egyptian Font
| May 10, 2021 03:12PM |
Hi everyone!
Long time, no see... the academic semester at university has kept me occupied for most of the past few months... but I did find time here and there to work!
I present my most recent font, the Egyptian-style font as used on the Eureka & Palisade RR No. 4 "Eureka" and her sister "Palisade." The letters are taken/inspired from the tender sides, and the numerals are the best I could do from shots of both the Eureka and Palisade's sand dome sides. As per past pointers, I now have drop shadow gaps in my work. All future fonts will have this, and I will go back eventually and edit my previous fonts with this shadow gap upgrade.
Hope y'all enjoy! Best wishes,
Eric
