Hackney is an entirely hand-painted sans serif. A raw, bold, condensed design with brushy imperfections and an earthy realism. It keeps all the incredible definitions of real painted strokes as a transparent texture, giving you a proper hand-painted effect without having to do anything (or go near paint). Whether large or small, Hackney is perfect for adding texture to bold downtown character or personal artisanal flair, from signs to packaging and advertisements to posters.
