Terrassa Display
Typotheque · Nikola Djurek · 2025
A modular variable display typeface by Nikola Djurek, built around architectural drafting geometry with layered outlines and a proportional weight-scaling system.
About
Part of a three-member system alongside Terrassa and Terrassa Gradient, the Display variant adds layered outlines and architectural repetition to the family's core monolinear geometry. Five variable axes replace what would otherwise be over 10,000 static instances, allowing fine control over stroke weight, layer depth and spatial rhythm. The proportional weight calculator, drawn from drafting practice, lets designers keep stroke widths consistent as type scales, preserving optical clarity across sizes.
Classification
Terrassa Display is a modular geometric display typeface with variable layered outlines and architectural repetition, taking clear cues from technical drawing and engineering lettering rather than any historical type revival.
