Abolition specimen from Fort Foundry

A condensed industrial sans in ten styles, derived from Bourbon and extensively revised in 2013, with rough and round stylistic variants.

About

Derived from Bourbon and heavily reworked, Abolition pairs a tightly condensed structure with an industrial character suited to display and poster use. Ten styles cover the family, ranging from Lines and Soft through to Rough and Round, each paired with an oblique. Stylistic alternates, tabular figures and broad Latin language support broaden its practical range beyond its rugged visual personality.

Classification

Condensed, industrial sans-serif with stylistic variants including rough and round treatments; the page categorises it as Sans but its display-oriented construction and textured variants place it firmly in the display category.
