No curves, no Béziers—pure constructivist grid

Coxx is a modular grotesk typeface built entirely without curves or Bézier paths. It began as lettering for a 2000 poster promoting a Carl Cox gig and grew into a full type family. The collection comprises two subfamilies—one with internal gaps, one fully filled—and a variable font file lets users control gap width.

Insights

Working without any Bézier geometry required solving glyph completeness across a full character set using only straight-edged construction.
The gap subfamily creates visual interruptions within letterforms while deliberately avoiding stencil conventions.
A variable font file exposes gap width as a controllable axis, scoped to the gap subfamily per available evidence.
