I first started Lawless font over a year ago, but never finished it owing to the fact that I accidentally deleted the file. Yea that happened and it was painful, a bit like losing a £20 note from your back pocket (I've done that too). So I started it again but took it in a slightly different direction. Originally it was very clean and angular. This version was hand-drawn and then traced into Adobe Illustrator.
Lawless Font Inspiration
I first had the idea for Lawless when I was working on social images for the movie Slow West. It's a western movie with Michael Fassbender, not sure if you'll remember it. Worth seeing, lovely cinematography. Anyway, it struck me that the typeface on the artwork was not what I would have expected. It was using a modern serif typeface. I thought nice choice, you didn't go for the typical western-style typeface—bold move.
Fast Forward a Few Years
That must have stuck in my head as I really love the old woodtype from the 1800s period. So I quite literally threw my hat in the ring and designed Lawless.
