Fixture is our huge 72-font take on numerous offerings of the late 19th century's typefaces, posters, and wood letterpress sundry performed in the Grotesk category. 4 widths ranging from Ultra Compressed to Expanded each can be found in 9 weights and accompanying italics. Some common sans-serif alternates, such as the a and g, are included in all the fonts.
The concept with this design was to put together a workhorse typeface household with sufficient functional flexibility to work in several environments, from the subtlety of magazine layout or film credits to the visual drama of billboards or packaging.
Aesthetically speaking, it is rather interesting-- however in retrospect quite unintentional-- that each various width and/or weight of this face ended up pulling a various dominant characteristic from the melting-pot origins of the whole family. It's almost like a homage album to some famous band's covers of older songs. It may also be a great conversation piece on our tools forming the very things for which they're utilized. Can't truly get any more post-Grotesk than this. In the 21st century, this is the one genre to rule them all.
