Workfolk – A Vintage Utility Font

From our desk:

Introducing Workfolk - A Vintage Utility Font, the perfect choice for your next vintage T-shirt design. Created by Jim Kennelly, this font pulls inspiration from multiple blue-collar sources such as World War 2 military rations, street utility signs, and vintage dairy crates, all while maintaining a gritty, made in America sensibility.

Workfolk is a utility font designed to do the job, nothing fancy or over-the-top, just like the way things were made in the past. The letterforms are reminiscent of something our granddad may have hand painted on a plank of wood to advertise his latest corn harvest on the side of the road. Take the D for example, it seems to be just a bit too wide, but that's what makes it unique and true to its vintage roots.

By embracing the look of a bygone era, you can create bold typographic statements with three different font styles - Regular, Extended, and Condensed. Workfolk is perfect for packaging or brand projects looking to create a bold impact with a vintage flare.

With multi-language support through glyphs common in Latin script characters, Workfolk is versatile and can be used for a range of different projects. The font also comes with an alternative S character located in the glyphs palette, providing even more creative options for your designs.

In a time where everything is mass-produced, Workfolk allows you to honor our resourceful past and embrace it as a tool for the future. So, whether you're looking to create a vintage T-shirt design, packaging for your brand, or any other project that needs a touch of nostalgia, Workfolk is the perfect font for you.
