Fette Mikado

by Peter Wiegel · Website

Fette Mikado is a bold, condensed display face from Peter Wiegel with heavy strokes and an Eastern-inspired decorative quality baked into its letterforms. The characters carry a quirky, slightly exotic personality, with brushlike details that nod toward East Asian calligraphic aesthetics without attempting to replicate them literally. It works best at large sizes for headlines, posters, and themed packaging where you want something eye-catching and a little offbeat.
