UNION WEST (Display) ― Classic Wood Type inspired slab serif
═══════════════════════════════════
This is the 'Display' (bold weight) version for the "Union West" typeface family
═══════════════════════════════════
[About the "Union West" typeface]
The idea was to craft a typeface that resembles a vintage wood block lettering style. The design is a sturdy looking geometric form with small wedged slab serifs, straight beak terminals. It comes with two weight versions, 'Display' and 'Text'. The Display version is a bold style that has medium weight contrast and aims for headline use, the Text version is a thin style with only mild weight contrast that is heavily condensed and aims for body copy use.

In lo♥️e with it! Congrats, compa!
"ff", "fl" and "fi" need a look, in my humble opinion.
@ elmoyenique: Thanks for the kind words and spotting trouble areas compa, for now I applied some kerning to compensate and improve those combinations, but I doubt I can get them 100% right in lines of default text with separate non-composite glyphs.
But I will definitely try to better tackle the collisions with ligatures later on.
@ Rob: Thanks for the special mention boss!
