Brutal Types · Ramiro Espinoza · 2025
A single-weight display typeface adapted from Vilmos Huszár's De Stijl lettering, rendered without curves in a distinctly rectilinear and abstract idiom.
About
Ramiro Espinoza drew this typeface from an envelope designed by Vilmos Huszár, the Hungarian-Dutch painter and co-founder of the De Stijl movement in 1917. Every form is built on strict right angles, eliminating curves entirely while preserving a degree of legibility that such radical geometry rarely permits. The result sits comfortably alongside museum communications, architecture publishing and electronic music branding.
Classification
A curve-free, rectilinear display typeface derived from De Stijl letterforms. Its abstract, grid-based construction and rejection of curves places it firmly in the display category, with roots in early twentieth-century geometric avant-garde typography.
