I’ve always had a thing for unreasonably heavy fonts. Just look at the logo at the top of the screen: I just couldn’t resist using the Ultra Black weight of Interstate!

One font that caught my eye a while ago was the Black Slabbath, a slab serif font with almost ridiculous proportions. A quote from the font’s distributor, YouWorkForThem:

There’s only one thing about this new typeface that isn’t colossally black: the razor-thin white space. It slices through and between geometric characters, creating a juxtaposition of contrasts and rhythms. The heaviest typeface in the world.

I especially like the lowercase letters. Some more pictures, featuring the designer Stefan Kjartansson, can be seen in this Flickr photoset.
