Ernst

by Michael Schink�the · Website

Ernst is a bold, roughened display face by Michael Schinköthe with heavy letterforms that look worn down and weathered, like type pulled from an old damaged printing press. The irregular edges and gritty texture give it a dark, vintage quality that works naturally in headlines, posters, and packaging where you want something that feels aged and a little menacing. Not a face for body text, but at large sizes it carries serious presence.
