Starboard Font

About the Starboard Font

The term starboard derives from the Old English steorbord, meaning the side on which the ship is steered. Before the steering wheel, boats were steered by an oar at the stern of the ship. Since most sailors were right handed, this is where you would find your steering oar!

Starboard is a rough, handmade, brushy kinda font. It was, of course, made with my favourite cheap brush and Chinese ink – resulting in a slightly eroded looking font.

Starboard comes with all the trimmings, including double letter ligatures for the lower case.
