A single-weight display face of jagged, high-contrast strokes arranged on a rule-of-thirds grid, drawing on Saul Bass's mid-century title graphics and street graphics.
About
Pico is a decorative display typeface built from deliberately uneven, high-contrast lines arranged on a strict rule-of-thirds grid. It reads chaotic at first glance but holds together through its underlying geometric structure, pulling from Saul Bass's mid-century title work and Stussy's streetwear graphics. Suited to posters, clothing graphics, logos and editorial headlines where bold visual impact is the brief.
