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 weight presence.
