Aachen is a bold, impactful typeface originally designed in 1969 by Colin Brignall, with additional development by Alan Meeks in 1977. Named after the German city, it was initially created for use in advertising and headlines, where its heavy weight and slab serif style make a commanding statement. Aachen is characterized by its sturdy, block-like serifs and compact letterforms, giving it a strong, authoritative presence. While it excels in display contexts like posters, signage, and sports branding, its bold style also lends itself to modern digital applications where attention-grabbing typography is essential.
