CF Nelson Old Caracters Regular Font

CF Nelson Old Caracters by CloutierFontes is a free eroded display font with the blunt, rugged build of old wood type. Its tall capitals carry heavy slab serifs, uneven edges, and dense patches of scratches that vary across each letter. Narrow joins and rough interior marks make the forms feel printed from battered blocks rather than covered with a uniform digital texture.

Packaging is a natural home for this worn lettering, especially on whiskey labels and heritage food products that benefit from a workshop-made stamp. It also suits concert posters and historical publishing, where the distressed capitals can supply title lettering that feels pulled from a handbill or newspaper advertisement.
