About

F37 Mancunio is a grotesque sans Rick Banks drew from one of the last original wooden street signs in Manchester, named for the Roman fort of Mamucium. The family runs to thirty-six styles, nine weights from Thin to Black with matching italics, and a Condensed width at the same depth, so it can carry an entire identity system from caption text to billboard. F37 use it on city-of-Manchester references and pair it with serifs like F37 Bella; sits naturally in editorial, music, sport and cultural-institution work where you want a confident British grotesque voice.
