Robert Brownjohn specimen from Primary Foundry

An open-source display face generated from the 1959 Grishman-Ryce Duo cover art designed by Robert Brownjohn, produced via boolean operations on existing font paths.

About

Lorraine Li used the Font-Remix tool to combine vector paths of two existing fonts through boolean operations in-browser, generating the letterforms at runtime rather than drawing them by hand. The result is a single-weight face of 112 glyphs released under the SIL Open Font License, Primary Foundry's second OFL release. Its source material, a piece of 1959 graphic design by Robert Brownjohn, gives the typeface a mid-century experimental quality.

Classification

Generated via boolean operations on vector paths of two existing fonts using the Font-Remix tool, producing a distinctive display face rooted in 1959 cover art; its experimental construction and singular weight place it firmly in display territory.
