UNION WEST (Text) ― Classic Wood Type inspired slab serif
═══════════════════════════════════
This is the 'Text' (light 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 addition to this latest Slab-Serif typeface family, I designed a simple poster like sample image that features a random collection of various of my more striking Serif typeface FontStruct designs.
Excellent sample. Impressive how these fonts sit comfortably side by side!
This is a great serif typeface! I like the name Union West because it reminds me of a vintage wood block lettering. The text (light weight) and the display (black weight) ones are slightly-casually different. Thus, I also guess that explains why the idea of typeface that resembles a vintage wood block lettering style.
@notamboy: Thanks for the kind words. The name indeed refers to the era of big wood types.
