Good brewing, like good typography, is about knowing what to extract — the essential flavours, the core ideas — and leaving everything else behind. Extract is a typeface family originally crafted for Browar Stu Mostów, a craft brewery in Wrocław, Poland, a city literally woven together by over a hundred bridges (Stu Mostów means One Hundred Bridges in Polish). Much like its hometown, the brewery thrives on connection — between tradition and innovation, local roots and global ambitions, craftsmanship and creativity.
Extract follows the same path. It blends a sturdy Sans with a Semi-Slab variant, where slab serifs subtly enrich the capital letters. This dual structure gives designers an extra tap to pull from: a flexible range of tones, from clean and modern to robust and characterful, without ever losing consistency.
The typeface’s very name reflects its form — slightly condensed (or “extracted”) proportions that create a bold yet agile rhythm. Its stylistic DNA resonates with wooden grotesks, carrying a tactile, handmade energy that mirrors the experimental and human side of the craft beer community.
Like Browar Stu Mostów itself — a bridge-builder between heritage and contemporary creativity — Extract is designed to connect worlds. It feels equally at home in bold headlines, expressive posters, or more playful and experimental layouts. More than just a tool, it’s a type family meant to be poured generously into your projects — designed not only to be used, but to be enjoyed.
