Aachen Medium Regular

Aachen Medium Regular was originally designed in 1969 by Colin Brignall for the Letraset library. It is widely regarded as one of the most influential slab-serif display fonts of the late 20th century. The typeface is characterized by its heavy, squared-off slabs and short ascenders and descenders, which create a dense, powerful typographic block that commands attention in any layout.

The family was later expanded by Alan Meeks to include more versatile weights like the Aachen Medium. Its design bridges the gap between traditional geometric slab serifs and industrial, athletic-inspired lettering. Because of its robust construction and high readability at large sizes, it has become a go-to choice for sports branding, collegiate apparel, and impactful editorial headlines that require a sense of strength and stability.
