Galapagos
Just as the Galapagos Islands are home to a vast number of unique species, the ABC Galapagos typeface is made up of a range of unique characters whose forms evolve from one another. The idea for the font stems from the designer Felix Salut’s Galapagos Game, a physical set of building blocks designed as a tool to draw letter shapes. We teamed up with Felix to transform his physical game into a starkly futuristic yet subtly biological font. ABC Galapagos emerges from 42 different cuts of varying styles, including a rounded, straight, and angular style, which can be combined with hybrids such as rounded-straight, rounded-angular, straight-angular, and rounded-straight-angular. Each style then comes in five weights, including grid and no-grid versions. Using the stylistic alternatives built into the typeface, all characters can be moved up and down along a vertical grid, allowing designers to play god with varying chains of the font’s DNA.
