Personality with legibility

Designing a typeface from scratch meant finding the balance between giving each letter personality and making them all work as one system.

The process went from research and formal exploration to building and digitizing the alphabet in FontLab, with the final font in OTF and TTF.

Type off the page: cans, books and T-shirts.

Looking to the past without depending on it.
