CSTM Xprmntl 01 specimen from type.today

A single-weight experimental display font built over one month by Yury Ostromentsky, combining antiqua, geometric grotesque, pseudo-Gothic and Old Church Slavonic into one system via 15 stylistic sets.

About

CSTM Xprmntl 01 opens type.today's 'fast fonts' series, created at roughly one hour per day across a month and documented live on the CSTM Fonts Telegram channel. Its 15 stylistic sets allow radically different historical letterform traditions to coexist within a single line of text. The result is deliberately unstable, treating graphic inconsistency as the central design principle rather than something to resolve.

Classification

Deliberately hybrid display typeface that merges antithetical historical styles – antiqua, geometric grotesque, pseudo-Gothic, Old Church Slavonic – into one system via 15 stylistic sets, resisting any single classification.
