Thin Extra Light Light Regular Medium SemiBold Bold Extra Bold Black Thin Italic Extra Light Italic Light Italic Regular Italic Medium Italic SemiBold Italic Bold Italic Extra Bold Italic Black ItalicAPPEAL is a revival serif inspired by the type used in David Walker’s Appeal in Four Articles to the Coloured Citizens of the World (1830), a radical manifesto challenging the conditions faced by Americans of color. Likely printed in the same shop as Boston’s Freedom’s Journal—the first Black newspaper in the U.S., where Walker wrote—the booklet was a bold call to action.
This typeface seeks to channel that urgency and spirit, evoking heritage and culture while breathing life into the literary objects it inhabits.
