Municipal

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.
