ITC Machine Std

ITC Machine Std font.

ITC Machine Std is a bold display font built for short, forceful text. Its heavy shapes and squared, industrial feel make it better suited to headlines than long reading.

About ITC Machine Std

ITC Machine is associated with ITC and is credited in public font listings to Tom Carnase and Ronne Bonder, with local font data naming Bonder & Carnase, Inc. The available file for this page is an OpenType font named ITC-Machine-Std-Bold.otf, with a bold weight. That makes it a practical choice when you want a compact preview of the family’s heavier style rather than a full multi-weight type system.

Use ITC Machine Std where the text can stay short: logos in mockups, poster titles, badge lettering, game-style headings, album-cover concepts, packaging drafts, and social graphics. Because the design is dense and attention-grabbing, test it at the final size before using it in smaller labels or body copy. It can pair well with a plain sans serif for supporting text, but avoid combining it with another highly decorative font unless the layout is intentionally loud.
