1 / 10About Evanston Alehouse Font
Evanston Alehouse by Kimmy Design is a dingbat collection rooted in Prohibition-era saloon culture and brewery signage. The first in a series exploring this historical period, it emerged from Kimmy's research into Evanston, Illinois, a birthplace of the American temperance movement. It captures the graphic language of the drinking establishments that thrived even as prohibition loomed, translating history into a usable typeface system.
The family includes over 100 ornamental elements: decorative frames, borders, laurels, and line breaks that work alongside the typeface weights and styles. You get three weights (Light, Medium, and Black), four widths (ranging from condensed to expanded), and three heights (capitals, lowercase, and small caps) in both sharp and round versions. Discretionary ligatures and stylistic alternatives add depth and flexibility for specific design moments.
This range makes Evanston Alehouse ideal for vintage beer label design, speakeasy-themed bar menus, craft brewery identity systems, and prohibition-inspired event signage. DIY makers will find the ornament set especially useful for hand-lettered packaging, custom signage projects, and layered collage work. Grab Evanston Alehouse on Creative Fabrica to build a collection that channels the graphic language of early 20th-century American drinking establishments.
