About
Fuqua balances wide, full letterforms with weighty slab foundations, giving it both structural solidity and an approachable quality. Ten weights run from Thin to Ultra, each with a matching italic, and two variable fonts are included with a full family purchase. Named after Pittsburgh Steelers legend John 'Frenchy' Fuqua, the typeface carries a clear regional and industrial identity.
Classification
A slab serif with wide, full forms and geometric construction rooted in late 19th-century industrial machinery aesthetics. The sturdy bracketed slabs and warm proportions place it firmly in the contemporary slab tradition.
