Gold Rush was designed by Michael Hagemann and released by FontMesa. Gold Rush consists of 4 designs and family plan alternatives. p > This old classic font style has an intriguing history, it was initially cut with lowercase by the Bruce Type Foundry in 1865 and listed as Ornamented No. 1514. Around 1903 the Bruce foundry was bought by ATF, in 1933 this typeface was revived by ATF as Caps only and was offered the Gold Rush name but was often called Klondike.

A comparable version of this font style with lowercase and radiused serifs was produced by the James Conner's Sons Type Foundry around 1888. In the previous other foundries such as the Carroll foundry, Type Creators of Phoenix and the Los Angeles Type Foundry have produced an all caps version of this font.

After taking a look at a number of printed sources of this font style from more recent books I discovered that the original from Bruce's 1882 book was by far the best in design quality, it was likewise the only printed source that consisted of the lowercase.

New open dealt with, ornamented and distressed variations have actually been added to this old timeless font, there are likewise lots of extended characters for Western, Central and Eastern European countries.

The Gold Rush Path OpenType version has alternate double letter sets included in the font and will immediately be substituted when utilized in Adobe CS items or other software application that benefits from OpenType features.

Also readily available is a spurred version of this typeface listed under the name Gold Spur.

The $20.67 cost of each typeface shows the price of an ounce of gold in 1865.
