Fort
MCKL · Jeremy Mickel · 2012
A contemporary grotesque by Jeremy Mickel spanning 48 styles across three widths and eight weights, with squared shoulders and carefully redrawn slanted italics.
About
Designed by Jeremy Mickel and published in 2012, Fort grew from graphic design practice and a need for a versatile, high-performance sans. Squared shoulders, distinctive counterforms in rounded characters and a uniform texture across the weight range give it enough character for display work while remaining legible and dependable at small sizes. The family covers Extra Condensed, Condensed and regular widths, each running from Thin to Black in roman and italic.
Classification
Fort is a contemporary grotesque sans-serif with squared shoulders and carefully drawn italics, placing it squarely in the grotesk tradition rather than geometric or humanist sub-styles.
