Karlo – A Superfamily by Sofie Beier’: Read Our Full Interview with Font Designer Sofie Beier about Her Approach to Type Design and Inspiration for Karlo

Description

Gestalten's new font Karlo is a superfamily of several branches that all originate from the same lightweight skeleton. The lightweights are based on a pen stroke of an even width. In the heavier weights, the family evolves in two directions, both of which are inspired by the writings of Edward Johnston, one of the fathers of modern calligraphy. Its versatile options make Karlo suitable for both running text and display purposes. In the interview below, Karlo's designer Sofie Beier talks to us about her approach to type design and inspiration for Karlo.
