Mercearia Antique
A blocky, inky display face drawn from a 1944 Brazilian lettering manual, with squarish forms and soft edges that recall hand-finished commercial signage.
About
Based on hand-lettered alphabets published in Brazil in 1944, the typeface combines squarish letterforms with softened edges to produce a hand-crafted warmth suited to display use. It performs best at larger sizes on posters, packaging, branding and signage, where its character remains legible. Available in a single Regular weight, it is a specialist tool rather than a general-purpose family.
