Periferia
A Practice for Everyday Life · Andrés Sandoval
A modular display typeface built from rubber-stamp forms, drawing on the rhythms and textures of the urban environment.
About
Each letterform is constructed from a limited set of stamped modules, and the textural irregularities of that process carry forward into the final design, giving it a hand-made quality rooted in physical mark-making. The foundry draws a deliberate parallel between rubber-stamping and movable type, framing Periferia as both a display face and a meditation on print history. Its Latin character set covers a broad range of European languages, making it serviceable for identity and editorial work across multiple markets.
Classification
Classified as Display by the foundry; letterforms built from a limited set of modular stamped forms with textural imperfections that give a hand-rendered, urban quality quite distinct from conventional type categories.
