Typefaces — elbow, design studio

ee Six Sixties

Letterform counters in focus — negative becomes positive, outlines recede, and communication emerges through proximity. Sharp edges bring antithesis to refined typographic curves. An alternative style set introduces softer spaces for more rhythmic contrast. Individual pieces form paragraphs, building into exploratory spaces to contemplate or drift through. EE Six Sixties started many years ago during logotype explorations, deconstructing and reconstructing letterforms. It’s undergone numerous iterations, this is its final form — now containing a 601 characters, support for 262 Languages, tabular and lining figures, and a rounded style set for both upper and lowercase letters.

Specimen

ee Seventh Seefeel

A monospaced serif typeface of rectangles. Ugly and elegant, harsh and gentle, brutal and legible. Four stylistic sets for all characters. Full number sets along with extended punctuaiton and language support. 1,297 glyphs.

Specimen

ee Eaux Dix

An experiment in distortion and process. Serifs axed, contrasts extended, slants pushed, textures added. This was one messy afternoon of exploration with manipulation. More of a momentary shock than fine typography. Used sparingly it has its place in designs.

ee Oh Threes

Business. Handhsake. Buy, sell, yes yes. A neogrotesk take on Akzidenz Grotesk with the quirk included. Many modern interpretations remove the inconsistencies and humanity from the originals. Family includes 501 glyphs, seven stylistic sets, useful dingbats, and full number sets. Narrow versions are for display or alternative copy styling.
