Gabetes, A typeface inspired by Shoelaces

Knot your typical handwritten script! Say hello to shoelace inspiration.

Shoelaces are very much like handwriting. They’re never the same—as they intertwine freely in each and every step. Gabetes mimics this behavior by contextually tying letters depending on the order in which they appear. Furthermore, this intricately designed typeface even switches to a print version at all-caps casing, increasing legibility. This feature diversifies composition possibilities on its own and is taken a step further by the loopy alternate for each capital letter. Gabetes captures the tactile quality of shoelaces and brings it forth as a fun-to-use typeface ideal for projects in need of a free-spirited communicator and visually dynamic typesetting.
