Typeface Design for NSType
NSType is a type system created by French design studio Superscript² as the typographic identity for the annual Nuit Sonores festival in Lyon, developed over three years alongside the festival's evolving identity. Built on monolinear caps and a rigid grid structure, the family branches into two subfamilies: NSType Mono, whose strokes are divided at rhythmic intervals to evoke beats and sound, and NSType, whose segments are replaced with architectural forms drawn from Lyon's venues and landmarks. Expanded for retail, each subfamily offers two fonts with distinct styles across upper- and lowercase slots, yielding eight mixable variations per capital letter.
