Urge Text

From Dave Rowland Type

Urge Text is a highly usable serif family with a split personality somewhere in between an Egyptian and a Modern. It has an entire array of features for the most discerning typographer. Ranging from the almost monoline, Egyptian style light weights to higher contrast ‘Modern’ bolds, there is endless potential for use in typographically demanding scenarios. The family comprises six weights, two widths, and matching italics. Urge Text is ready for storytelling that’s both clear and characterful.
