Description
"Combinebox" is a modular font-system, created together with Andre Apel from Leipzig. The basic design is taken from the classic font Schwabacher, which was interpretated in an avantgardistic way.

The result is a box of 30 elements, which can be combined individually, but always keep their formal roots.

For more details check: www.combinebox.com Here you can download the Combinebox and the font for free.

  • The Combinebox is an avantgardistic interpretation of the traditional Schwabacher to get 30 single elements which can be freely combined to get new letters, which stick to the roots of the Schwabacher, but have the individual touch of the one using it.  
  • The modular system comes as vector files, so it´s up to you how to use it. You can go the easy way as well as we provide the Combinebox as an Open Type Font too.
