A typographic system from readable text to edgy display styles
About Timez
What makes a typeface easy to read? Which features classify it for display purposes? The Timez family seeks to provide answers to such questions by building a concrete system that spans both extremes.
Divided into three sub-families – Readable, Casual and Strange – diverse purposes for modern graphic design are covered. Based on the same skeleton and technical parameters, almost everything develops: spacing, contrast, proportions, curve tension, italic angles, you name it. When needed, Timez can evolve from a handy text type to an exciting tool for display applications.
As if that wasn't enough, the family comes with a generous selection of features, both for text and display purposes. That said, you'll find just as many ligatures that support good rhythm as there are decorative and fancy ones. Italic swashes, options for tighter capital spacing, various symbols and figure styles, variable fonts as well as a broad Latin language support are just the icing on the typographic cake.
