History
ToTemper seeks to soften the aggressive features prevalent in classic geometric typefaces models like the Futura by Paul Renner for the Bauer Type Foundry ( 1927 ) or the Kabel by Rudolf Koch for the Klingspor Foundry ( 1927 ). By tactfully removing the sharp edges from the drawings, the design propose a nuanced alternative to modular lettershapes without loosing its graphical properties. Build on primitive shapes and a strong contrast in letter widths, ToTemper provides all the qualities of a geometric typeface, enhanced with the benefits of a uniform stroke repartition that rises the homogeneity of the text. With its book, regular, and bold cuts, ToTemper fits seamlessly in both body and display, offering a harmonious balance between impact and readability. Designed between 2015–2016, first released in 2016.
