Kumla
Letters from Sweden · Göran Söderström · 2013
A single-weight display face drawn from the 1920s architectural lettering on a shoe factory in Kumla, Sweden.
About
Göran Söderström revived the capital letterforms spelled out on the facade of Kumla Skofabrik, a shoe factory dating from 1912, and released the result in 2013. The face is all-caps in origin, carrying the monoline geometry of early twentieth-century commercial signage, and covers both Latin Extended and Cyrillic scripts. Its character set is broad enough for multilingual work despite having just the one weight.
Classification
Kumla is an all-caps geometric display face drawn from vernacular architectural lettering of the 1920s; its monoline construction and capital-only origins place it firmly in the display category.
