Boxing Font
Boxing is an extended ‘western’ font. All of its letters are wide. They have been drawn with reverse contrast, so their horizontal elements are heavier than the vertical or diagonal strokes. This applies especially to Boxing’s serifs, which are heavy to the extreme. As stated a few sentences ago, this style of letter is often associated with the Wild-West-era of American history: westward expansion, gold rushes, the Civil War, Cowboys & Indians, and all that.
However, letters like Boxing’s were also used on posters printed in mid-19th century Europe. They reappeared much later in the psychedelic graphics of the 1960s and 70s, too. So, the area of application for a typeface like this is broader than one might think at first glance. Boxing is a single-weight design by Ruosi Huang, and its name certainly calls boxing posters to mind. Nevertheless, its area of use today can also encompass flyers, logo design, or newspaper headlines. Try these crazy letters out!
