Sizek

Calligraphic structure fractured by digital decay

Sizek is an experimental display typeface by Sandro Bonomo that deconstructs classical calligraphic letterforms through intentional breaks and divisions. Disrupted counters and irregular reassembled shapes draw from digital artifacts such as glitches, lag, and partially loaded files, while also evoking human nervousness and unpredictability. Released in 2024, it supports Latin European languages and is available in variable format.

Insights

Intentional breaks reform counters into unconventional shapes rather than simply distressing surfaces, making disruption structural.
The design draws on two parallel references — digital artifacts and human nervous tics — framing glitch as both technological and bodily.
Exported as a variable file alongside TTF, WOFF, and WOFF2, extending the display typeface beyond static instances.
