About

A modular display typeface by Felix Salut and Dinamo that descends from Salut's Galapagos Game, a physical set of building blocks designed for drawing letter shapes. The font is composed of 42 cuts spanning rounded, straight and angular styles with hybrids such as rounded-straight, rounded-angular, straight-angular, and rounded-straight-angular. Each style runs across five weights from Light to Black, with grid and no-grid versions, and stylistic alternates that move characters up and down a vertical grid. Reach for it on identity, exhibition and editorial work that wants a futuristic yet biological mood and a system you can recombine.

Classification

A modular display typeface built from 42 cuts (rounded, straight, angular, plus rounded-straight, rounded-angular, straight-angular, and rounded-straight-angular hybrids), evolved from Felix Salut's Galapagos Game physical building blocks for drawing letters.
