Burokkou: an impactful free typeface
Want a big, high-impact font that will slam your enemi... I mean audience, IN THE FACE?
Then you want Burrokou. The work of Ryan Migninczy (that's too many consonants in a row for me to pronounce), this is definitely one for titles and maybe even branding, if you're branding an early 20th century factory.
You know how we say that a font has character? Burokkou is nothing but character. A bold, all-caps display sans, it doesn’t care about your pathetic objections regarding its basically-inexistent counters or the fact that it’s so condensed it’s about to kickstart cold fusion.
However, despite its faults, think about this: I created both of the designs featured in this post in ten minutes. Its extremely idiosyncratic nature can compliment certain designs perfectly.
Burokkou comes in a free version that you can download HERE. A paid ($10), feature complete version (which includes punctuation marks, numbers and multilingual glyphs) can be downloaded from HERE.
