Inspired from extremely sturdy typefaces like the Nord version of Antique Olive or Annonce Grotesque (initially released in 1914 as Grotesk V by German typefoundry Wagner & Schmidt), the first set of letters are thought as building blocks, giving a solid and imposing look. A set of much brighter alternate glyphs allows more contrasting effects and shines a new light on the alphabet, playing on the illusion of volume and space and echoing the stage designer’s work.
