Designed by Jim Parkinson, Modesto Initials is a display serif font family. This typeface has two styles and was published by Parkinson Type Design.

The Modesto Inline font style has existed for a number of years. In 2014 I added what I call a fill font style. Set behind the Inline, it is customized so it fits behind the Inline. The Inline typeface still works by itself. The Fill typeface works alone too, as an ultra Modesto on steroids. However, they work best together.

Modesto is a loose-knit household based upon a sign painters lettering style popular in the late 19th and early twentieth centuries. The font styles developed from the lettering I utilized for the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & & Bailey Circus logo design. The Modesto household was not planned. It simply took place, a couple of font styles at a time over about fifteen years.
