I’ve only hiked Mount Katahdin once and that was 20 years ago. But the experience left quite an impression on me. It marks an end (or start) to the Appalachian trail, towering over everything around it at 5,269 ft (1,610 m). It is Maine’s tallest mountain. It is legitimately in the middle of nowhere (in the beautiful Baxter State Park).

So I set out to create a typeface that was just as imposing. Something loud and grand. Katahdin Bold comes in an all caps clean treatment as well as a more rustic, rough style. While it is available to use as a webfont, I cannot encourage use of the rough style via @font-face. In fact, give in a second (or minute) to install in your font management application, as the rough styles are each over 1mb (which is large, due to the detailed nature of each glyph).
