Into the Wyrd and Wild
Published on January 27, 2022
PicNic is an organic typeface inhabiting a cloud of contextual ligatures and inclusive ligatures, substituting for the midpoint automatically. They are designed mainly for French.
The shapes are inspired by the trajectory of a drop of water on an oilcloth, the shadows of the tree leaves on the fabric lying in the grass, the precise path that the ant takes to the watermelon. They attempt to translate the sensory experience of a picnic among friends.
This typeface will suit for all wild, poetic and bucolic explorers for their most adventurous excursions.
After Kaeru Kaeru, PicNic is our second co-release with NoFoundry. NoFoundry is the student lead foundry of the HfG Karlsruhe. They release fonts and organize events and workshops.
