An all-caps industrial condensed display typeface in two weights, originally released in 2015 and extensively reworked for a 2021 reissue.
About
Designed by Matt Willey and first released in 2015 with assistance from Henrik Kubel of A2-Type, MFred comes in Regular and Heavy weights and includes alternate glyphs for twelve characters. The 2.0 revision, completed in 2021 with assistance from Diana Ovezea, represents a thorough reworking of the original. Its tight, upright proportions and all-caps construction make it well suited to editorial headlines and short display settings.
Classification
An all-caps condensed display typeface with industrial character, designed for strong visual impact at large sizes. Its tight proportions and two-weight structure place it firmly in the display category rather than a workhorse text family.
