Aphantasia

About
Released in 2026, the typeface takes its name from the neurological condition in which a person cannot form mental images, and the design draws on that sense of felt but unrendered memory. The character set is deliberately small and ceremonial: 26 capital initials, 10 figures, punctuation, 26 ornaments and a single parrot. It occupies the tradition of letterpress-ornamented certificates and decorative titling rather than functional text setting.
Classification
An ornamental display typeface comprising 26 decorative initials, figures, punctuation and 26 ornaments. The singular style named 'Angel Baby Boys' and the inclusion of illustrated elements place it firmly in the decorative/display category rather than any functional text category.
