APK TL25
APK Type · Peter Korsman
A single-weight geometric headline typeface inspired by Gerrit Rietveld's 1925 L25 table lamp, built from discrete shapes that barely seem to touch.
About
Designed by Peter Korsman and developed by Daan Jesper Kars, APK TL25 translates the constructivist language of Rietveld's lamp into letterforms assembled from strict geometric parts. It comes in one weight only, though a set of stylistic alternates accessed via Stylistic Sets 01, 02 and 03 gives the typeface some flexibility. Coverage extends to 36 languages across 460 glyphs.
Classification
A strictly geometric, single-weight display typeface whose letterforms are built from discrete geometric shapes that barely touch one another, referencing the constructivist aesthetic of Gerrit Rietveld's 1925 L25 lamp. The playful, architectural structure places it firmly in the display category.
