A mechanically constructed ultra-condensed display typeface distinguished by deliberate mutations and inktraps as integral design details.
About
Sitting somewhere between ultra-condensed and condensed proportions, Taku is built around a rigid, near-mechanical structure that is then disrupted by intentional mutations and inktraps. The character set covers 232 glyphs, including two sets of numerals and a stylistic set to suppress the mutations for a cleaner appearance. Still in development, it is available as an early build on request.
Classification
An ultra-condensed to condensed display typeface with a mechanical construction, characterised by deliberate mutations and inktraps as design features. Its rigid geometry and extreme proportions place it firmly in the display category.
