Long years ago, before the evil days had dawned,
King Volsung ruled over all the land which lies between the sea and the country of the Goths
THE DAYS WERE GOLDEN
and the good Frey dropped peace and plenty everywhere, and men went in and out and feared no wrong. King Volsung had a dwelling in the midst of fertile fields and fruitful gardens.
Fairer than any dream was that dwelling. The roof was thatched with gold, and red turrets and towers rose above. The great feast-hall was long and high, and its walls were hung with sun-bright shields; and the door-nails were of silver.
In the middle of the hall stood the pride of the Volsungs,—a tree whose blossoms filled the air with fragrance, and whose green branches, thrusting themselves through the ceiling, covered the roof with fair foliage. It was Odin’s tree, and King Volsung had planted it there with his own hands.

Information
Mack is a humanist sans serif inspired by the natural, brush-made variations of details originally rooted in geometry. The spark for the creation of Mack came from lettering on a map of Mackinac Island whose angled terminals, pointed peaks, and variation of proportion were all details that set it apart from the strictly geometric forms it appears to reference. Rather than copying the few letters there and extrapolating them into a whole font, Mack is an original sans serif design following similar principles. Its structure and contrast resemble those of mid-century geometric typefaces while its curves and terminals are angled to emulate the stroke of a brush.
