About Altar

Altar was developed from charcoal rubbings made of a headstone in a cemetery in New Orleans. For me it recalls memories of hand-carved lettering in the furniture of old Southern Baptist churches (which inspired the name). Only a few of the characters from the original rubbing show up in the final version of the typeface, but compressed naive serifs still show through.
