Red Dye 40 specimen from Taylor Penton

A single-weight display face built for punchy, high-confidence headline work with deliberately imperfect, heavy letterforms.

About

Thick strokes and intentional roughness give this display face a tactile, over-confident quality that suits poster work, packaging and logotypes. It ships as a single Regular weight with 206 glyphs covering extensive Western European Latin including Icelandic and Welsh. A flat-rate commercial licence with no seat limits or traffic caps makes it approachable for small studio use.

Classification

A thick, imperfect display face with deliberate irregularity and strong presence, suited to poster and headline use rather than text setting.
