Concept & Reference

Inspired by the structure of Akzidenz Grotesk and the bold, even strokes of early wood types, this typeface explores the fusion of both qualities into a cohesive design. 

However, with an extended typeface, contrast is essential to counterbalance the compressed counters, making weight distribution and legibility a key design challenge. The result is a refined yet striking balance between structure, boldness, and readability.
