Project developed in 5 month period during the MA degree of Advanced Typography at EINA school.

The research focuses upon relevant historical precedence related to parameters, revealing the evolution of creating letters within a system and the importance of digital technology in typeface design.
The final part of the essay offers an alternative hierarchy within the variables that give a certain shape of a typeface.
