Aurochs: Letterpress Type Family

Embrace Authentic Typography with Aurochs Vintage Letterpress Design

The Aurochs display type family draws inspiration from the original wild west of typography, where letterforms were crafted by hand, showing delightful imperfections and an organic feel. Developed from detailed scans of vintage letterpress and woodblock prints, Aurochs captures the spirit of handcrafted typography that combines charm with creative controlled chaos. This unique type family revitalizes historical printing aesthetics for modern design applications, making your projects stand out with an authentic and engaging look.

Explore Six Distinct Weights for Maximum Creative Flexibility

Aurochs comes in a comprehensive set of six weights, organized as light, regular, and heavy categories, each featuring two carefully designed variations. These options allow designers to express a full range of moods—from delicate to bold—while maintaining visual consistency across different typographic elements. The capitals-only style enhances the impact of headlines, titles, and logos, providing a robust presence in editorial layouts, branding, and poster design. With Aurochs, you can create dynamic typographic hierarchies that draw attention and convey a strong message effortlessly.

Optimize Your Projects with Desktop and Webfont Versions

This type family offers desktop and webfont formats to support versatile usage across multiple media channels. The provided OpenType Font (OTF) files work seamlessly in desktop design software, while Web Open Font Format files (WOFF and WOFF2) ensure excellent web compatibility and performance. These formats enable consistent typography experiences whether you are working on print campaigns or digital platforms, helping you maintain brand identity without compromise.

Comprehensive Character Set for Broad Editorial Needs

Aurochs supports the full English alphabet in uppercase letters, numerals, and essential punctuation marks. This set covers the fundamental typographic needs for diverse editorial projects, advertising materials, and corporate branding. Although focused on capitals, the design’s expressive nature captures attention and adds distinctive character to any text, making it a prime choice for impactful headlines and graphic statements in various industries.
