Description

Shamus is an uncial font family designed by Steve Jackaman and Ashley Muir in 2010. As its name suggests, Shamus is a Gaelic-themed script combining uppercase and lowercase characters. Available in Light, Medium, and Bold! Just think of it! Old-fashioned pub and restaurant branding, modern fantasy products, rustic wedding invitations, and travel brochures, Shamus will surely give any project an air of mysticism without the blarney.
