GENTLY CONSTRUCTED

[1976-1977] However, this is not a geometrically conceived typeface, the structure appeared only after-wards. I started outlining some key characters, trying to find a structure that would serve as the basis for the other characters. Such a structure is an underlying instrument used to obtain a homogeneous whole, however, it is not visible in the final result. It was a great surprise to receive this beautiful grid as a result, and then to see the other letters fit gently into it.
