Hinwil Medium Font

Hinwil, created by David Pache for helvetic brands, is a free techno display font with an unexpectedly handmade edge. Its tall, open letters combine squared construction, uneven stroke widths, and softly blunted ends to form a mechanical silhouette that feels cut or stamped rather than digitally polished.

It can turn a title into a rough workshop sign, making it especially apt for maker events and industrial-themed posters. Album covers and streetwear graphics suit its wiry, irregular forms. The likely audience is designers seeking technology references with a tactile, low-fi attitude rather than sleek futurism.

Hinwil is a Mcane-Manuaire hybrid typeface created using an iPad. It is part of an ongoing personal project to create a set of fonts using a touchscreen interface, some of which may be reworked into professional versions.

The font is free for everyone to use.
