Specimen, Maelstrom typeface
This is a Specimen. It was designed by Kris Sowersby and made for Klim Type Foundry. It is dated 2014. Its medium is digital print.
Maelstrom is a display face that reverses the expected stress of a typeface. The horizontal strokes are heavy and vertical strokes are thin, giving the letters a strange and unsettling quality. Sowersby is a leader in the field of typeface design; he offers his wares to the global design community through his Klim Type Foundry.
