Sequenz
Kilotype · Selma Losch · 2018
A text sans by Selma Losch that treats letterforms as a pattern of strokes, deliberately rethinking conventions such as crossbar height and closed apertures.
About
Designed by Selma Losch and released in 2018, Sequenz runs eight weights from Air to Heavy, each with a matching italic, totalling sixteen styles. Its design philosophy treats text as an alternating sequence of black and white strokes, and it questions entrenched conventions, such as whether the bar of the t must sit at x-height. The family supports over 400 languages across African, American, Asian, European and Oceanic scripts using the Latin alphabet, and includes proportional, tabular, oldstyle and circled numeral sets alongside arrows and symbols.
Classification
Sequenz is a sans-serif with experimental humanist tendencies, deliberately questioning conventional type design rules such as crossbar placement and letter closure, while remaining rooted in Latin text typography.
