Spring 2024

Autos Grotesk
Ongoing
Typeface
Autos is a neo-grotesque inspired by the humanistic warmth of early grotesques such as Lapidar or Französische Grotesk and the awkward silliness of the latin characters found in Asian typefaces such as Oriya Sangam MN or Lantinghei. Autos is an typographic exploration of the semiotic and aesthetic idiosyncrasies of these context-based design oddities. The name Autos (working title) comes from the Greek word meaning ‘self’. This typeface is still being refined, and is a constant work in progress. Further weights, italics, and documentations are forthcoming. Advised by Cyrus Highsmith.
