About Supermercado One

Supermercado One is a display typeface made of even, rounded-ended strokes on a narrow, semi-geometric frame. The lowercase is plain and mechanical, built from straight stems and tight curves with wide letterspacing. The capitals are another matter: in the specimen the A begins with a curl at its top left, the O carries an inner loop, the M and N arch like lowercase letters, and the X is drawn as two stems joined by a crossed bar. The official notes trace the idea to naive industrial letters and point out that these swashes make it unlike a typical mechanical sans. They add that it remains usable in paragraphs and at smaller sizes. The font has one style and 411 glyphs. James Grieshaber designed it; the copyright notice names Sorkin Type Co.

Where Supermercado One works

Food and drink packaging

Rounded monoline strokes with curled capitals recall stencilled or hand-painted lettering on crates and tins.

Market and shop signs

Narrow letters fit a long word on a sign board, and the wide spacing keeps them distinct.

Headlines in title case

The swashed capitals appear only at word starts, decorating a line that is otherwise plain.

Short blocks of text

The official notes say the lowercase is plain enough for small sizes and short paragraphs.
