Mullion specimen from Department of Letters

A single ultra-heavy grotesque drawing on late 19th and early 20th century advertising and signpainting traditions, built around strong vertical strokes and tight counterspaces.

About

Conceived around a dominant vertical axis, Mullion takes its name from the architectural term for the vertical dividing element in a window. That vertical emphasis is channelled into the letterform counterspaces, resulting in a face of considerable weight suited to editorial headers, identities and logomarks. Currently released as a single Heavy weight with 443 glyphs, three numeral styles and support for 200+ Latin-script languages, with a broader family of weights and styles planned.

Classification

A single ultra-heavy weight sans-serif drawing on late 19th and early 20th century grotesque models, with dominant vertical strokes and strong counterspaces; its weight and display intent place it firmly in the display category rather than a general-use grotesque.
