Ouvrières is a bold, industrial-strength sans serif that channels the spirit of 20th-century labor movements and working-class typography. The typeface features sturdy, uniform stroke weights with minimal contrast and squared-off terminals that emphasize its utilitarian character. Its compact letterforms exhibit a slightly condensed proportion with a generous x-height, creating excellent legibility at both large display sizes and smaller text applications. The design reflects Velvetyne's commitment to socially conscious typography, with subtle humanist touches that soften its mechanical foundation while maintaining the robust, no-nonsense aesthetic of trade union printing and protest signage.
