Fort Foundry · Brian Brubaker, Mattox Shuler, Clark Orr

About
Drawn from the block letterforms found on NASA-era space initiatives, Shuttleblock pairs a restrained classical quality with simple, sturdy construction. The family spans four widths — Condensed, Narrow, Regular and Wide — each offered in Medium, Demi and Bold with matching italics, totalling 24 styles. Helpful OpenType alternates, custom symbols and wide Latin language support make it practical across a range of display contexts.
