Providence RI font family is a free retro Gothic-inspired typeface by Pilaster Davy that injects personality into the words we read. Its visual dynamics originate from an interesting contrast in thickness, shadowed effects, and different layers that build up its beautiful letters. Providence RI comes in 2 font styles with names that perfectly depict their personality. Both include all standard lettered characters including both cases, numbers, and symbols of sorts.
Inspired and historical, the letters come together to showcase tasteful elegance which can appear in tattoo designs, music album covers, branding and packaging designs, headlines and cover designs, merch designs, etc.
Providence RI is a free font for personal use only. For commercial usage, check the author’s notes for details on how to purchase a license.
NEW version 2 featuring alternative serif capitals, word art, and tweaked metrics.
Providence RI was spawned from the typography of a 1900 Sanborn Perris Map Co. Ltd. map cover for Providence, Rhode Island, USA and in part from Goth watching in Whitby, North Yorkshire, UK, during Goth Weekend, 2014 (It's a thing. Google it!).
The result is Providence RI. Less Goth than the Sisters of Mercy, more Goth than Michael Bublé.
Providence RI has limited language support (so you can type Bublé properly!), with a view to extending this at a later date, and is served as-is and 100% free.

Should you have the good fortune to find a commercial use for Providence RI, you can similarly earn good karma and share some of the love using the same method.
However you use it, I'd love to see some examples of my Goth/vintage child set free and in the wild. Links via the Dafont PM system would be greatly appreciated.
Comments, suggestions, and requests are most welcome.
Thanks must be extended to the naughty mods and staff of Dafont for their patience, help, expertise, and encouragement, without which this endeavor wouldn't have been possible.
Enjoy!
