Modified Typeface

NeoGoth is a new typeface derived from Josefin Slab.

Variation is one of the most common ways new typefaces are developed. While exploring type families, one can find typefaces from different foundries with a common ancestor. Didot, Baskerville, and Caslon are examples of one type family with many variations. Neogoth was developed though these same principles to create a modified variation of a preexisting typeface.

To create the typeface, each character of the Josefin Slab Regular style was traced. Inspired from blackletter, a lettering style used in Europe starting in the 12th century, the traced characters were modified into new stylized forms. The new forms were then digitized, kerned, and then generated into a new typeface called Neogoth.
