Viewport Typeface

Viewport is a quirky sans-serif typeface based on type and lettering on mid-century paperback book covers: specifically the squarish sans-serifs synonymous with sci-fi capers and the saccharin calligraphic typeface associated with steamy romances.

The project is a synthesis of two different genres of typefaces: geometric and dynamic. It is on built on a square geometric foundation, but has humanist details that nod to calligraphy. Despite some unconventional details, it's been designed to be legible as a text face.

The regular weight is complete—more weights and widths in progress.
