Artifex

A font inspired by hand craft that combines characteristics of letterforms created by traditional hand tools like chisels and calligraphic pens. These characteristics are subtle enough to be used in a range of applications, but shines as larger display text. The influence of the hand combined with the bold weight gives the font a confident, yet warm human expression.

Process

Used the Glyphs app to create consistent and precise letterforms starting with lowercase and expanding to the complete set of characters and numerals. Iterated and refined over many weeks to achieve a desired optical balance.
