Taper

A Modular Typeface

A modular typeface inspired by the tapering angles found in architectural structures. The diminishing angles, bare building materials, and unusual shapes are a reflection of skewing angles.

Glyphset

The set is characterized by its modular technicality. With its limited variables, sharp angles and squared counters, a minimal and mechanical system is formed.

Anatomy

The typeface makes use of three different building blocks; a square, and two different angled pieces that are rotated to create the different letterforms, numbers, and punctuation.
