Sudetype

Custom typeface designed for Linserka, the newly opened cultural and creative centre in Liberec, housed in the renovated former Ch. Linser machine works. The letterforms draw from the building’s architecture—particularly the prominent circular window added during the renovation—as well as from the concept of ‘industrial roots meeting a cultural future.’ Consequently, the lower parts of the letterforms end in sharp right angles, while the upper parts are finished with rounded endings. This typographic treatment reflects the juxtaposition of the site’s historic industrial character with its contemporary cultural purpose, while creating a strong and distinctive typographic visual language.
