Tabac Big | Introduction | 1/5

Tabac Big
Definition Those who have grown tired of text typefaces insensitively blown up
to the size of a poster or a building facade should from time to time
try out extreme display styles, which are designed precisely for this
purpose. They look best in dimensions from around 32 points out to
infinity, and they rise to the occasion when a strong impression is
necessary. This is especially true for the extreme weights Hair and
Black, which don’t allow for any compromise. The sharp hairline and
brutal contrast of the strokes test the most extreme possibilities,
without having readability suffer in continuous text, as is
characteristic for all the typefaces of the Tabac superfamily.
