Yermo - A Laid Back Geo-Slab Font

These features are suggestive of typefaces made popular during the hippie era. Take the capital Y, for example. He rides his trusty horse around the cattle ranch by day, and plays a mean latin guitar at the local tavern by night. One might say that if Yermo were a person, he'd be an old, pot-smokin' hippie that retired to the dry hills of southern Arizona. And I wouldn't doubt he'd give old Willie a run for his money when it comes to smoking Mary-Jane. --- INCLUDED 2 different type styles - Yermo Regular - Yermo Italic ABOUT Yermo is a hybrid typeface influenced by 1970s psychedelia, toughened by country grit and modernized with geometric shapes. The tail widens and flares at the bottom, adding a retro flair to certain character combinations, while the capital C keeps its heavier base hidden by other unique characteristics. It was designed to capture a certain blurring of cultural lines between the laid back vibes of Southern California, the gritty Arizona desert and the vibrant latin culture of northern Mexico. Balancing out Yermo's retro California vibe is the addition of slab serifs that add a certain Southwesternflair. Yermo draws its California influence through slightly bottom-heavy characters. Selective characters emphasize the 1970s influence, while others take a step back from it. However, Yermo uses this feature subtly, adding weight to each character base without being overly psychedelic. I imagine hes got braided pigtails, not unlike his hero Willie Nelson. It's these serifs that give Yermo a strong stance and a bit of a twang.
