A four-variant geometric type collection from MuirMcNeil, named after Alfred Jarry's anarchic 1896 play, each variant exploring a different structural treatment of the same underlying geometric forms.
About
Each of the four variants takes a distinct approach to the same geometric skeleton: Ubu Bloc presents solid forms, Ubu Trou inserts rudimentary counter shapes into the contours, Ubu Coup splits characters into their geometric sub-components, and Ubu Doux softens all inner junctions with gentle curves. The three compatible styles within each variant allow for layering and systematic composition. The collection sits firmly in the experimental, constructivist tradition of geometric lettering.
Classification
Ubu is a collection of geometric display typefaces built entirely from solid geometric forms, with each variant exploring structural permutations of those forms through counters, segmentation and curved junctions.
