Emigre · Frank Heine · 1991

displayVernacular display

Frank Heine's 1991 typeface for Emigre captures the rough, hand-lettered energy of vernacular signage in two complementary cuts.

About

Designed in 1991 during Emigre's most experimental period, Remedy reflects the decade's appetite for typefaces that broke from conventional refinement. Its irregular strokes and raw letterforms draw on the tradition of hand-painted signs and amateur lettering. Two cuts, Single and Double, offer variation within the family's deliberately imperfect aesthetic.

Classification

Remedy is a hand-lettered display typeface with rough, irregular strokes and a distinctly vernacular character, placing it firmly in the display category rather than any conventional text classification.
