Fat Faces

Meet the Fat Boys from Linotype!

Have a new product or special offer? Do you want the whole world to get your message? If you were to take your pitch live to the street, you would either have to resort to shouting, or to big amplifiers and loudspeakers in order to get your point across. But what can you do if print, paper, posters, or billboards are your medium? You’ll need a typeface that is as BIG and BOLD as possible. This is where the fat boys from Linotype step in, offering up their expressive characters to help spread your news. Choose from our large selection? Each typeface has it’s own qualities and capabilities. Designing such a fat boy is a great challenge for type designers: one must think to persevere all of the characteristics of the typeface, while drawing just the right amount of black. Take a look at Linotype’s fat boys, and see the distinctive forms our skilled designers have worked out for you!
