Umidità 1832

In order to achieve the feeling of humidity and intense confinement within the letter forms, the relationship between thick slab serifs and hairline verticals was heavily exaggerated. Pairing this treatment with large, perfectly proportioned Italian serifs helped to maintain a dominant sense of unease.

This re-interpretation of an 1832 wood cut by Caslon was created from a look at 3 original letter forms in an old typography journal, edited in FontLab for use, and screenprinted for exhibition at Typeforce Chicago.
