About
Designed by Conor Mangat and published by Emigre, Platelet is a product of the early 1990s wave of experimental typeface design that the foundry was known for championing. Available in three weights — Thin, Regular and Heavy — the family is oriented toward display and headline use. Its geometric character reflects the era's interest in pushing digital type beyond conventional forms.
Classification
