Round 8 takes its name from the eighth round of the 1974 fight between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman in Kinshasa, the round Ali won. The type is just as tight. Letters are extremely narrow and heavy, with almost no space inside them, and the specimen calls it the greatest Atipo heavyweight typeface of all time.
The preview is a boxing magazine layout: NORMAN MAILER THE FIGHT and SOMETIMES EMOTIONS CAN WIN FIGHTS stacked in red over black and white photos. It is capitals only. The download here is one OTF file.
