Catorze27 Style 1, designed by Scannerlicker, captures the visual language of early-20th-century metalwork that defined Portugal's architectural character. The typeface emerged from photographing hand-forged iron elements across northern cities like Porto, Espinho, Ponte de Lima, and Viana do Castelo, distilling those structural qualities into letterforms that feel both industrial and refined. The wrought iron heritage translates into forms with genuine presence and weight.

This is the first variant in a three-style family built for serious design work. The package includes 570+ glyphs, seven distinct weights from light through bold, case-sensitive alternates that add visual flexibility, and two numeral styles in separate sizes. You also get full support for Greek (Monotonic), Cyrillic, and comprehensive Latin character ranges, making this font a genuine workhorse for multilingual and international projects.

The typeface sits naturally in designs demanding that intersection of industrial character and refinement: vintage restaurant menus, art gallery identities, heritage craft labels, and boutique hotel branding showcase its strengths well. Steampunk aesthetics, editorial design with personality, and retro poster work are equally suited to its temperament.
