Typeco releases it's second font family — Chunkfeeder.

Chunkfeeder was inspired by the vernacular forms of lettering created for high speed printing and electronic displays. These letters are seen all around us in such things as postal packing slips, airline tickets and informational video displays. Many of these fonts are designed by engineers and interface designers who presumably do not have a background in letterform design. Consequently these glyphs have many idiosyncrasies.

In keeping with it's mechanical inspiration, Chunkfeeder is monospaced, much like an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) font. Chunkfeeder has a rather ridged modularity but it incorporates some typographic nuance into the letterforms than most other fonts of this style, while exploiting some of the quirky visual artefacts of high speed printing.

Chunkfeeder is a versatile family of 6 fonts — 3 weights, each with an accompanying oblique.
