Inspired by public fonts in New York in the 1970s. Authority pays tribute to the almost unnoticed but powerful effect type have on our lives.

From waiting on a cold morning to catch the 307 to Morton West High School, to the rain and snow worn stencil on a postal box. Public typography is a part of the little spaces in your lives where life actually happens.

Government designed fonts were chosen to communicate authority and help grease the gears of the day-to-day grind.

Authority beckons back to these days with it’s mildly condensed feel, squared corners and strong feel. We’ve also added another dimension to the typeface by creating a typeface for each time period in the fonts life including: Standard (freshly printed), Rounded (Slightly worn and used) and Aged (worn down by the day to day interactions with the world).

Use it for bold, striking headlines and subheads. Use it for the base of logos. Use it to bring Authority to your work.
