About the project
A defining aspect of the typeface is the use of contrast in place of traditional serifs: the stroke reaches its maximum thickness immediately after the thinnest point, shaping the terminal without relying on serif forms. This construction method blends calligraphic modulation with structured type design, establishing the font’s visual logic and behaviour.
