Production Technology

Glyphs was used to create the Font family. The Type specimen book was printed as a limited run in offset digital, five color.

Design Challenge

The major challenge was to create a san serif font and display font that work in harmony together, to create a contemporary visual language.

Research

Our research began with the origins of Swiss-type design, studying classical forms that could be expanded and adapted into new forms and shapes.

Inspiration

This Font family's inspiration was creating a juxtaposition of two opposing styles that work together in a sophisticated design system that empowers designers to create compelling visual narratives. Inspired by minimalism and clarity of Swiss type design, the design of the forms, whether used independently or combined, Faffin Sans and Faffin Display offer a harmonious and contemporary typographic language.

Project Duration

The project was started in April 2023 and launched in November 2023.

Operation Flow

The font family was launched as a retail font throughout the world and used by international design firms.
