Cassette
Interrobang Type · 2016
A single-weight display face grown from a guitar pedal lettering experiment, built around consistent linear strokes with deliberate roughness in the lowercase alternates.
About
Originally conceived for a guitar pedal, Cassette expanded from a simple fill letterform into a full alphanumeric set. The consistent horizontal strokes running through the lowercase alternates create a visual cohesion across a line of type, and also lend themselves to layering and overlay effects. Contextual alternates, discretionary ligatures, small caps and old-style figures are included.
Classification
A single-weight display face with a constructed, modular character built from consistent linear strokes. Its origins in guitar pedal lettering and embrace of deliberate visual roughness place it firmly in the display category.
