After having designed a bunch of display typefaces, I wanted to start doing it in a more serious way, I wanted to make my own text typeface.
Designing a proper typeface is a difficult and boring process. When you've sketched down your main ideas, there is not much room for creativity, it just becomes hard labor, a bit like doing the dishes.
I've been obsessed with German posters from the 1900's for a while now and I guess this typeface draws much inspiration from that.
