Ohno Fatface
OH no Type · James Edmondson · 2020
A 45-style fatface family with five widths and nine optical sizes, tracing a direct line from early 19th-century Fann Street display types to contemporary editorial and poster work.
About
Built across five widths — Normal, Narrow, Condensed, Compressed and Squished — each with nine optical sizes, the family adjusts stroke contrast and spacing as sizes decrease so the type remains functional well below headline scale. A variable font is included with the full package, making the width and optical-size axes accessible for layout work. The design was drawn between 2017 and 2020 and sits squarely in the revival of 1970s-influenced fatface aesthetics that defined much of that period's typographic output.
Classification
A high-contrast display serif in the tradition of early 19th-century fatface types from the Fann Street foundry, extended across five widths and nine optical sizes for contemporary use.
