LXII specimen from Metis Foundry

A grid-constructed display typeface in nine weights across three subfamilies, inspired by Jurriaan Schrofer's modular type experiments of the early 1970s.

About

Each character is drawn on a strict 4x4 grid and pushed to fill as much of that space as possible, giving LXII a dense, modular quality that sits somewhere between typography and image. The family spans nine weights from Thin to Heavy across standard, semi-rounded and fully rounded subfamilies, totalling 27 styles plus a single variable font. An extensive set of discretionary ligatures extends the graphic possibilities further.

Classification

Built on a strict 4x4 grid with characters designed to fill space maximally, LXII is a geometric display face with a distinctly modular, constructed character rooted in early-1970s digital grid aesthetics.
