Description
Mānuka’s roots are over 150 years old. A rare German wood type specimen from Will & Schumacher provided the seed. This crude specimen is like a typographic punch in the guts. The letterforms are big, brash and weird. Charming inconsistencies flourish across related styles. Despite the variety, most of the fonts are bold and condensed, like branches from a common trunk. These fonts have weathered well and Mānuka uses many details with minimal intervention.
