Sailor Larry - Fancy Police

Sailor Larry - Fancy by Tom Ledin is a free decorative display font with tall, high-contrast serif letters and a theatrical hand-drawn edge. Each capital contains a dark tapered inset, punctuated by small dots that resemble rivets or buttons and turn the alphabet into a repeated ornamental system.

The ornament echoes riveted borders and simple line drawings. That makes it a convincing choice for circus posters, vintage packaging, music merchandise, and illustrated book covers, where the lettering can become part of an emblem instead of sitting apart as ordinary type.
