Steak

Designed by Alejandro Paul, Steak is a script font family. This typeface has three styles and was published by Sudtipos.

On my recent visits to the States and Canada, I noticed that quite a few high-end steak houses try their best to recreate an urban American 1930s atmosphere.

Here I am, once again digging up 60-year sign lettering and trying to reconcile it with the typography of my own time. The truth is I’ve had this particular Alf Becker alphabet in my sights for a few years now. But in the typical way chaos shuffles the days, Buffet Script and Whomp won the battle for my attentions way back when, then Storefront beat the odds by a nose a couple of years ago. Nevertheless, revisiting Alf Becker’s work is always a breath of fresh air for me, not to mention the ego boost I get from confirming that I can still hack my way through the challenges, which is something I think people ask themselves about more often as they get older.

The ambience says your money is well spent here, because your food was originally choice-cut by a butcher who wears a suit, cooked by a chef who may be your neighbour 20 minutes from downtown, and delivered by a waitress who can do the Charleston when the lights dim and who just wouldn’t mind laughing with you over drinks at the bar later.

It’s loaded with ligatures, swashes, ending forms, alternates, ascender and descender variations, and extended Latin language support.
