Brake Fluid

by Chris Vile · Website

Brake Fluid is a decorative serif display face by Chris Vile with inline detailing that gives each letterform a polished, engraved quality. The ornamental strokes and vintage sensibility recall old-fashioned signage and label typography, elegant but with enough quirk to stand apart from straightforward classical revivals. Best at large sizes for headlines, packaging, and branding where you want something that feels like it was pulled from a turn-of-the-century print shop.
