Detroit Metro Rough 1 Medium

Designed by William Dwiggins, Detroit Metro is a sans serif font family. This typeface has twelve styles and was published by FontHaus.

Detroit Metro® is a faithful version of the Dwiggins 1930 urban classic: Metro light, Metro medium, and Metro black.

In 1929, English type designer, William Addison Dwiggins, (WAD) was commissioned by the Merganthaler Type Foundry to design a warmer, more humanistic, and less mechanical sans to effectively compete with Futura, a highly-popular geometric sans designed by Paul Renner in 1927 and first released by Meganthaler’s arch-rival, the Bauer Type Foundry in Germany.

FontHaus has licensed from GroupType updated files with additional styles including 2 rough versions and a soft together with the classic Regular styles and weights. These new styles will offer designers a wider range of options to design with these amazing classics.
