Design Challenge: The challenge was to develop something completely new ad brutalism is more synonymous with sans fonts, so developing a new language and approach to a stylist serif typeface.
Research: One of the hardest parts of the design was translating architecture into a serif typeface. Through the study of sections and observations of light and shadow upon building structures we were able to identify forms that developed the shapes of the serif.
Inspiration: The inspiration for the typeface is in brutalist forms. Taking that inspiration from the ideas of architectural forms and developing it into a serif typeface, using forms and a mathematical grid.
