The Design

About Hupla Typeface Skriftdesign og Skriftprøve

Hupla fremstår som en stilistisk skrifttypefamilie, omhyggeligt udformet som en mekanisk skrifttype inden for et præcist defineret gitter. Denne designfilosofi udvider dens alsidighed og gør den til et ideelt valg til anvendelse i forskellige størrelser, med gnidningsfri overgang mellem tekst- og displayindstillinger. Beriget med et omfattende sæt af OpenType stilistiske funktioner, bliver Hupla mere end blot en skrifttype; den transformeres til et dynamisk værktøj til kreativt udtryk.

Unique Properties: Hupla emerges as a stylistic font family, meticulously crafted as a mechanical font within a precisely defined grid. This design philosophy extends its versatility, making it an ideal choice for application at various sizes, seamlessly transitioning between text and display settings. Enriched with a comprehensive set of OpenType stylistic features, Hupla becomes more than just a typeface; it transforms into a dynamic tool for creative expression.
Dimensions & Packaging: The specimen dimensions are 210 x 290mm
Tags: Type design, Typeface, Specimen
Production Technology: Glyphs was used to create the Font family. The Type specimen book and box was printed as a limited run in offset digital, 6 color.
Design Challenge: The major challenge was to create a meticulously crafted mechanical font within a precisely defined grid, creating a contemporary visual language.
Research: Our research began with the origins of Swiss-type design, International Style, and Modernism of the Swiss Style, studying classical forms that could be expanded and adapted into new forms and shapes.
Inspiration: This Font family’s inspiration was to create a sleek and modern aesthetic with well-defined letterforms inspired by International, modernist, and Swiss styles. We decided that the typeface had to be constructed from straight lines and 45-degree corners, with the letter forms of even width, whereby spacing between words should always be related to the width of an individual character.
Project Duration: The font family was started in September 2023 and will be launched in Feburary 2024
Operation Flow: The font family will be launched as a retail font worldwide and used by international design firms.
