Glyphs was used to create the Font family. The Type specimen book and box were printed as a limited run in offset digital, 8-color.

Design Challenge

Research

Our research began with the origins of the International Style, creating forms that could be expanded and adapted into new forms and shapes to encompass movement.

Inspiration

The International Style inspired this Font letterform inspiration. Foremost was the concept of a geometric sans serif typeface containing purposeful subtle design touches, details, and deviations, expressing the movement within a glyph set.

Project Duration

The font sketches were designed in March 2023 and produced May 2023, with the product launched July 2023.

Operation Flow
