Popular Mechanics Font

Popular Mechanics is a classic magazine of popular technology first published in 1902.

Christian Schwartz designed Popular typeface for Popular Mechanics, as used for its nameplate. According to the designer, Popular was designed as a type series with the no-nonsense engineering charm of the DIN spec, yet enlivened with structure from the strong slab serifs Stymie, Memphis & Rockwell. The font family is available in 11 styles, Thin, Light, Regular, Medium, Bold and Black with corresponding italics. More details about it can be found here.
