Designer's Notes

Forge your designs with Steelfish, a typeface that combines the raw strength of industrial-era headlines with the precision of modern typography. This condensed powerhouse doesn’t just nod to the past—it forges a bold new path, melding turn-of-the-century newspaper grit with contemporary design sensibilities.

Steelfish isn’t content to mimic a single historical source. Instead, it’s an alloy of various headline fonts, creating a unique typographic metal that’s stronger than the sum of its parts. Free from both modern frills and antique ornaments, Steelfish stands as a versatile bridge between eras, equally at home in vintage-inspired layouts and cutting-edge designs. With seven distinct weights and their oblique counterparts, Steelfish offers a full spectrum of typographic intensity. From whisper-thin lines that suggest elegance to bold strokes that demand attention, this typeface adapts to your design needs with the flexibility of heated metal.

But Steelfish’s true strength lies in its variations, each one a specialized tool in your typographic arsenal. When you need to soften the edges without dulling the impact, reach for Steelfish Rounded, perfect for designs that balance strength with approachability. For those moments when subtlety isn’t an option, Steelfish Hammer pounds your message home with unrelenting force. Seeking an extra layer of industrial edge? Steelfish Steeled delivers, as if each letter has been tempered in a typographic forge. And when your design calls for pure, essential forms, Steelfish Unleaded strips away the shiny surface, speaking volumes through grit.

Steelfish’s linguistic versatility is equally impressive, supporting an extensive range of Latin-based European, Vietnamese, Greek, and Cyrillic-based writing systems. From Albanian to Zulu, this typeface maintains its industrial strength across languages, ensuring your message resonates with global impact. Choose Steelfish when your designs need to make headlines of their own. Whether you’re crafting bold posters, forging strong brand identities, or constructing websites with industrial-strength typography, Steelfish delivers.   


With Steelfish, every word becomes a statement, every phrase a declaration. It’s time to stop pressing gently and start making an impression. Let Steelfish be the tool that hammers your vision into reality, creating designs that are built to last.
