|| The Typeface
Peculiar is an uppercase display font inspired by the uniqueness of blackletter typefaces. At first glance, the typeface appears very sharp and angular, but curved edges add a softness that gives the typeface a distinctive look and feel. It is odd with prominent cuts in star letters such as S & R and descenders that drop past the baseline. These unique quirks reflect everything the magazine is about.
