Empresario Stephen F. Austin (1793-1836) is considered by many the “Father of Texas” for leading the first Anglo-American colony into the then-Mexican territory back in the 1820s. A few years later, while on a diplomatic mission to Mexico City, Austin was arrested on suspicion of plotting Texas independence and imprisoned for virtually all of 1834. During this time he kept a secret diary of his thoughts and musings—much of it written in Spanish.

Austin Pen Bold is the heavy weight of the Austin Pen family, an interpretation of S. F. Austin’s scribblings in his Mexican prison diary. It accurately replicates the look of old handwritten materials whose author used a freshly inked—perhaps even over-inked—pen. Like the Regular weight, it has nearly 1,200 glyphs and full Latin support. (Consider licensing the full family, as both styles work well together.)
