Constructa, designed by Elizabeth Cory Holzman and released by Font Bureau is a revival of Morris Fuller Benton’s Tower. A pretty aggressively rigid slab serif, it’s good for those times when you feel like channeling the enduring industrial power of US Steel. Additionally, Tower is available in 14pt and 36pt in the RISD Type Shop for those intrepid enough to go printing. —marcos (p.s. Thanks matt solomon for reminding me to link to the original type designer!)
