About Big Shoulders

Big Shoulders by Patric King is a condensed, high-impact display family inspired by Chicago's industrial lettering heritage — bold, tall, and unapologetically space-efficient. A variable font with both weight (wght) and optical size (opsz) axes spanning nine weights, plus Vietnamese support, makes it one of the more technically complete American-gothic display offerings available. It excels in sports, retail, urban branding, and any context demanding maximum typographic authority in minimal horizontal space.
