Indiana
Extreme proportions, effortless legibility
Indiana is a typeface by Malou Verlomme for 205tf, built around tight proportions, soft geometry, and very short ascenders and descenders to maximise vertical density. The design draws a conceptual parallel to pneumatic engineering—reconciling opposing qualities such as flexibility and strength. It ships in six weights from Thin to Black, each with a matching italic, alongside one variable Roman+Italic font, and includes stylistic alternates for tonal range.
