Uzumaki Typeface Collection

Designer: Mike Sulick | Release Date: 03.12.22

Uzumaki is a family of typefaces inspired by the grotesque and otherworldly illustration style of horror mangaka Junji Itō, featuring Standard Condensed, Thin Extended, and Thick Extended weights.

This typeface captures the feelings of unease and tension that Itō’s illustrations elicit, featuring sharp angles, diamond tittles, and a meshing of traditional serif and slab-serifs elements to create a sort of Frankenstein’s monster of a type style. It’s a little dark, a little imposing, and a little spooky.

A few of the major recurring themes in Itō’s manga include body horror, envy, and the supernatural. This collection ties these themes together between the three weights: it’s sickly and frail, but still subtly dignified, sitting comfortably in the crossroads of beauty and death.
