About
Each letterform in Dot19 is carved from a solid block, letting negative space define the character rather than positive strokes, a technique drawn from 70s display conventions. The result sits between typography and illustration, with 236 characters covering Basic Latin, Latin Extended and a broad range of punctuation and symbols. At a single Regular weight, it is a purposefully singular and demanding face suited to logotypes, posters and short display copy.
Classification
A heavy, sharp decorative display face derived from 70s display type conventions, where letterforms are carved from negative space. Purely ornamental in intent, sitting equally between typography and illustration.
