Author's note

Tes© UltraBlack, designed by Thibault Dietlin of Alien Foundery, is a free ultra-heavy geometric display font. Broad circular forms crowd narrow uprights, creating a dense silhouette. Sharp diagonal cuts break up the mass.

Poster design is its clearest role, particularly for experimental music and cultural events. The compact weight also suits record sleeves and streetwear branding, with letters acting almost as graphic shapes. Blunt forms and sliced openings link these applications to tough contemporary imagery.
