Radial Typeface
6TM Magazine · Liad Shadmi
A single-weight geometric display face where each character is derived from the spatial logic of a strict radial grid, developed from Liad Shadmi's Alphabetical Room project.
About
Radial plots every letterform within a fixed radial grid, constraining each character to the geometric possibilities that structure allows. The typeface grew from Shadmi's Alphabetical Room research project and draws on Buckminster Fuller's systems thinking. It ships as one Wide cut with 111 glyphs – practical only for headline or display work where the grid concept is central to the intent.
Classification
Experimental display face where every letterform is plotted within a strict radial grid. Characters are not drawn freely but derived from the geometric possibilities of the grid system itself. Inspired by Buckminster Fuller's spatial and systems thinking. Single cut, Wide, with 111 glyphs covering Latin uppercase and lowercase, numerals, punctuation and basic symbols.
