Injurial
A typeface built to deliver insults with elegance
Injurial was created by Sandrine Nugue during the editorial design of a humorous thriller novel by Boll, published by Tripode in 2014, and released commercially in 2019. The brief called for a typeface suited to rendering insults with sharpness and restraint. It is an all-capitals incise (glyphic serif) with monumental Roman capital proportions and very slight stroke contrast, optimised for titling use.
