Nobody sawed these. Log Font builds every stroke from a split stave of firewood, pale cream sapwood on the face and dark bark clinging to one edge, with splinters and axe marks left in. It suits firewood suppliers, sawmills, cabin rentals, camping gear and conservation campaigns. The set types from a plain OTF and includes transparent PNG letters.
Log Font Splits Its Letters With an Axe
Nobody sawed these. Each stroke in the Log Font is a split stave of firewood, so the face shows the pale cream sapwood underneath the bark. Because an axe follows the grain, the edges run ragged rather than straight. Then the bark clings along one side of most pieces, dark against the split face. Meanwhile the staves butt together at hard angles, which suits a letter far better than a round log would. Naturally the wood keeps its splinters.
Pale Grain and Dark Bark
Two surfaces do all the talking. The split faces run cream to buff, while the grain shows in fine brown lines. Since the bark stays almost black by comparison, every piece outlines itself. Besides that, small chips and torn fibres catch light along the broken edges. The pieces vary in width, because no two splits come off a log the same. Of course that irregularity keeps whole words from marching.
