The "Easy Company" font family is a modern interpretation of the classic blackletter style, designed to evoke the look of a bygone era, particularly reminiscent of the days of the great world wars. Its thick black hard strokes give it a vintage and timeless feel, perfect for projects that require a touch of nostalgia and history.
This versatile font is suitable for a variety of uses, including editorial headlines, newspaper titles, packaging, logos, and names. Its bold and distinctive appearance makes it ideal for projects that need to make a strong visual impact. Additionally, Easy Company includes numerals, making it suitable for use on jerseys or to denote dates, adding to its versatility and practicality in various design applications.
1: Easy Company consist of the same angled slash in all the characters creating unique geometric points in the letters. This sharp angle creates a bend of the form.
2: The typeface also consist of underlined letters which go great for logos or headlines.
3: You can see here the main difference between the regular and sans weights. The sans weight goes straight down to the baseline and gives a more vertical feel to the letterforms.
4: The capitols extend below the baseline as well as above the initial cap height to give more prominence to the form.

Here is a little bit of my process into how this font came to be and how the letterforms took shape. There is a lot of trial and error as well as experimenting with words to make sure the font looks cohesive and respond well to each other.
