SB Penteks specimen from Studio Sascha Bente

A heavy display face built from the bold dots a correction pen leaves when it lingers too long on the page.

About

Penteks started as an attempt at a full weight range but ended up working only in its medium-to-heavy cuts, so Sascha Bente let it settle as a pure display face. It came out of a course led by Radim Peško at ECAL in 2019, and its character comes directly from the blot a correction pen makes when it sits too long in one spot.

Classification

A single-weight display face built around the bold dots a correction pen leaves when it rests too long, developed in a course led by Radim Peško at ECAL.
