About

Coat

Coat is a typeface family that explores different ways contrast can be added to letter skeletons. Informed by calligraphic models, different pen angles were applied to a sans-serif letter construction. Both the Roman and Italic are tetrahedron designspaces, each with four masters spanning three axes (weight, contrast and angle). The result is a variable font that offers a wide range of styles.
