About
Developed during the Covid pandemic in 2021, the design emerged from a sibling exchange of drawings rooted in the Bulfinch found in the 1912 ATF catalogue. The result is a clean grotesque with considered stroke contrast and harmonious weight relationships across eight styles, from Extralight to Black. Its refined proportions suit editorial use, brand identity and magazine typography.
