Blackout Regular

Blackout Regular is a striking display typeface designed by Tyler Finck. It was inspired by the concept of filling in the holes (counters) of sans-serif fonts to create a heavy, industrial, and completely solid aesthetic. This unique approach results in a typeface that is dense, powerful, and unapologetically bold, making it a standout choice for high-impact visual communication.

Originally released through The League of Moveable Type, Blackout has become a staple for designers aiming for a loud, modern look. Its absence of internal negative space makes it particularly effective for large-scale headlines, experimental posters, and branding projects where the font acts as much as a graphic element as it does a piece of text. It remains one of the most recognizable open-source display fonts available today.
