I enjoy creating typefaces that use a set of rules and seeing how far I can go with them. I had drawn this typeface originally for a project around 2015. The original concept came from "Greek-styled lettering," but I am unaware of it's historical roots. I had seen people like Roger Ferriter, Armin Hofmann and Max Bill do some amazing stuff with this concept but felt like I could take it a step or two further.
When I draw typefaces, I usually see them as an expanded branding/TM system that can be used in many different situations and outcomes. I like to bake in a lot of different ways to use the fonts and make them as easy to use as possible. There still are a lot of opportunities to further modify the letterforms and to create new and unique ideas within this structure. I am looking forward to seeing where you can take it from here. It's been a lot of fun and versatile to use so far. Chrysalis features five weights and 20 stylistic sets, ligatures, etc.
