A modular display sans by Cyrus Highsmith, drawn from the shapes of plastic magnetic refrigerator letters and available in three weights plus a Magnet variant.
About
Designed by Cyrus Highsmith and released in 2012, Icebox traces its origins to a box of magnetic letters bought in 1997, whose colourful plastic forms eventually fed into a modular letterform system. Three weights — Light, Regular and Bold — suit headlines and short blurbs, while the bonus Magnet style adds a companion option. Latin Extended character coverage makes it usable across a broad range of European languages.
Classification
Icebox is a modular sans serif derived from the geometric logic of plastic magnetic letters, intended for headlines and short text rather than running copy, placing it firmly in the display category.
