Chrysalis
Chrysalis is a geometric typeface built on a structured set of rules, pushing the boundaries of form while maintaining clarity and usability. Originally drawn in 2015, its concept was inspired by Greek-styled lettering, though its exact historical origins remain elusive. Influences from designers like Roger Ferriter, Armin Hofmann, and Max Bill provided a foundation, but Chrysalis extends the idea further, reinterpreting the approach through a contemporary lens. Designed as an adaptable system, Chrysalis functions beyond a traditional typeface, offering a toolkit for branding and identity work. With five weights and 20 stylistic sets, it encourages experimentation, allowing for both structural consistency and expressive variation. Ligatures, Greek support, and additional alternates expand its range, making it a versatile tool for designers looking to push geometric forms in new directions.
