About:
Impact is a classic, monospaced sans-serif typeface originally designed by Geoffrey Lee in 1965 for the Stephenson Blake foundry. It is characterized by its extremely condensed letterforms and heavy stroke weight, making it ideal for high-impact, legible headlines. This package installs the font, making it available for use across macOS applications.

Key Features:

Extremely condensed and bold letterforms
High legibility even at small sizes
Classic typographic design
Optimized for display and headline use

Use Cases:

Creating bold, attention-grabbing headlines in documents and web designs
Designing posters, flyers, and other print media

Alternatives:

font-arial-black – A more modern, wider sans-serif alternative for bold text
font-montserrat – A geometric sans-serif offering more stylistic variety
