From the foundry
Benang is a typeface developed from handwritten notes found in the administrative office of an old thread factory in Bandung. The design responds directly to this everyday writing practice. The letterforms are shaped by quick annotations, repeated instructions, and practical marks made by generations of administrators. These writings were tools for organizing work, not aesthetic expressions. We translated their rhythm, proportions, and movement into a clear typographic system.
