Victory Type Studios is pleased to announce the release of MCM Hellenic Wide, the first typeface from the upcoming Mid-Century Modern Collection--a set of vintage American typefaces rescued from the dustbin of history and rendered for digital use.

You've seen it before. But it’s been a while... MCM Hellenic Wide is an extended slab-serif typeface that was painted on railroad cars and stamped on posters; it was found in textbooks and once proudly graced letterheads.

MCM Hellenic Wide lacks frills and flourishes. Its trademark single-thickness alphabet features broad and squared-off serifs.

Now that retro is en vogue, do yourself a favor and download MCM Hellenic Wide today. This digital revival of a once pervasive unappreciated typeface was rendered from scans of primary source material. MCM Hellenic Wide will add a bit of classy Americana to your next design.

MCM Hellenic Wide is available for Mac and PC, in TrueType, OpenType and PostScript formats. Includes kerning.
