Defense was designed by Michael Jarboe and released by Reserves. Defense contains 8 designs and household bundle choices. p > Defense is an unyielding rectangular slab-serif stencil face designed with consistently balanced letterforms and a refined finish. It's extremely angular geometric kind commands attention in display settings, yet is also understandable simply put text blocks.

The stencil mark width varies accordingly with each weight, helping to even more define each design. Numerous alternate character sets permit space for customization, while the expanded ligatures press letter combinations to the limit.

Stylistically, Defense's almost crude, sharp-cornered building is balanced by it's sophisticated finish and attention to detail, often latent in similar faces of this genre. The upright weights are enhanced by pairings of true italics, completely rebuilt, a little narrower in width with customized letterforms, increasing their contrast and flow.
