Ozzy
Laïc · Brody Neuenschwander & Maciej Połczyński
A headline typeface drawing on Arabic Kufic, Chinese seal script and 1960s album-cover lettering for an unpredictably idiosyncratic Latin alphabet.
About
Named after Shelley's poem Ozymandias, the typeface reconstructs its letters from the ruins of ancient scripts, blending Arabic Kufic geometry and Chinese seal script with the swollen curves of Sixties record sleeves and American brand logotypes. The result is sharp and graphic yet with an organic sway to its forms, making it suited to editorial headlines or brand identity work where legibility can afford to bend. Eight styles are available, covering the Latin script with Polish diacritic support.
Classification
Ozzy is a display typeface drawing on Arabic Kufic script, Chinese seal script and 1960s decorative lettering traditions, producing idiosyncratic headline forms with no conventional text usage.
