HEX ProjectsNov 1

HEX launched 7 years ago tonight, on Halloween 2018.

To celebrate, I’m releasing a preliminary version of an experimental typeface I started even before that …

Shop Sans is a typeface for setting text on circles and curved baselines. Its ‘Curve’ variable font allows for bending type smoothly along arched paths, with adjustable curvature.

The initial version 0.1 is now available from @futurefonts, with more updates and improvements coming soon:

@HEX Nice! How many years was this already in the back of your mind?

@underware Thanks! I was doing early tests for this idea with a slab-serif design at least as early as January 2015:

The sans-serif design I just released now started some time between then and July 2016, when I made the first commits in the git repository for the project.
