From the foundry
Kaligari is the final project at the Type and Media master course by designer Franziska Weitgruber, resulting from a fascination for the naivety of letter forms in expressionist art and the often unsatisfactory relation between artwork and typography in museums and their visual communication. The typeface is inspired by expressionist techniques, with letter shapes rooted in different experiments of analogue form finding with cutting various materials as a core approach. Kaligari includes both a serif and sans serif family member for text use, with styles sharing a fairly independent italic for text and an expressive connected italic for display use.
