The Design
About Hupla Typeface Design Typographique et Spécimen Typographique
Hupla émerge comme une famille de polices stylistique, méticuleusement conçue comme une police mécanique au sein d'une grille précisément définie. Cette philosophie de design étend sa polyvalence, en faisant un choix idéal pour une application à différentes tailles, transitant avec fluidité entre le texte courant et le titrage. Enrichie d'un ensemble complet de fonctionnalités stylistiques OpenType, Hupla devient plus qu'une simple police de caractères ; elle se transforme en un outil dynamique d'expression créative.

- 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.
