Augure
Legibility as constraint, not convention
Augure is a type family by Simon Renaud (205tf, 2023) built around the question of how to depart from traditional letterforms without sacrificing legibility. It draws on Roman capitals, Carolingian minuscules, Uncials, cryptographic forms, and digital rationality, with elementary-form combinations reminiscent of early-twentieth-century geometric sans experiments. The collection extends to Augure Mono, Duo, and Stereo subfamilies.
