Municipal Font Family

The Municipal family of fonts and patterns were inspired by type director Ken Barber’s fascination with utility covers and designed for maximum street credibility. Its 15 fonts are optimized for text and display in print and screen environments, and include stenciled and shaded styles for large out-of-home applications. Municipal’s light weights are crisp, sleek and smart, while its mid-range fonts are direct and exceptionally readable. At the bold end of the spectrum, the typeface’s sturdy slab serifs set a striking yet confident tone. Twenty-six pattern motifs re-imagine the ornamentation on iron manhole covers as handy decorative design elements. Perfect for books, magazines and other print material, its clarity and solidity also make it ideal for web applications, wayfinding systems, signage, and of course, brands, products and personalities looking to steal attention.
