Honest Merchant

by Tom Kolter · Website

Honest Merchant is an ultra-condensed display face by Tom Kolter with extremely narrow, towering letterforms that pack bold weight into a remarkably tight horizontal space. The dramatic vertical compression gives it a striking, almost cinematic quality, built for posters, headlines, and large-format work where you want tall type stacked tight. It reads as confident and deliberate, the kind of face that commands a layout without sprawling across it.
