RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
One of the hardest parts of the design was translating architecture into a serif typeface. Through the study of sections and observations of light and shadow upon building structures we were able to identify forms that developed the shapes of the serif.

CHALLENGE:
The challenge was to develop something completely new ad brutalism is more synonymous with sans fonts, so developing a new language and approach to a stylist serif typeface.
