New project on the bench: a monospaced typeface. No name yet. The file is literally called cdt-mono.glyphs. Every glyph lives inside the same 625-unit width. The wide letters get compressed, the narrow ones stretch, and the punctuation suddenly matters.
"Structure survives the surface." CDT Racionale Grotesk keeps its logic whether it's blown up on a billboard or shrunk into a caption. Ten styles that hold at every size, across 260+ languages. cantdealwithtype.xyz #typedesign #typography
Most grotesks ask you to choose between neutral and interesting. CDT Racionale Grotesk doesn't. 10 styles of rational structure with quiet quirks where they count. cantdealwithtype.xyz
CDT Sanctum is out! Blackletter usually shows up when someone wants to signal "old" or "epic," and rarely does more than that. I wanted to build from what the genre actually gives you as letterforms: the heavy contrast, the dense vertical rhythm.
