Author's note

Tempest from The Font Farm is a free sans serif with a blunt, late-90s display feel. The letters look broad and packed with weight, but the rounded curves keep it from feeling rigid, giving words a solid, poster-like blockiness that feels direct and a little industrial.

It fits music flyers, game packaging, sports branding, magazine cover lines, and bold web headers where short words need real mass without turning mechanical. As a free font, Tempest makes most sense in logos, title cards, and other brief display settings, because that dense silhouette and the soft curves give even simple wording a loud, compact presence.
