From the foundry
A distinctive display typeface originally crafted for a series of Franz Kafka book covers that never happened. The condensed form features subtle six-degree angle with robust slab serifs and dynamic tension between rounded curves and sharp joints. Inspired by Eastern European design, Berthold Wolpe's Hyperion, and Scottish stone-carving traditions.
