Production Technology
The typeface was first hand drawn and developed in Glyphs.
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.
Project Duration
The typeface was developed in 2022
