Aside from Knight Rider, there were some other good 80s action shows. I don’t ever remember seeing Street Hawk, though the premise sounds great (essentially KITT is a motorcycle?). Our new type family, Turbeau, in action.

I’ve been a big fan of si-fai movies and shows. This is our brand new typeface, Turbeau, in use.

Our new typeface, Turbeau, is released today. Inspired by the end credits of Knight Rider, and warbly, analog synths. Three weights, alternate characters, diacritics, and oblique styles—all under a single license. Never perfect, always a-okay.
