Typeface Design for Production Type

Built for a racing game, refined enough to escape it

Countach is a compact sans-serif family developed for The Crew, an auto racing video game, where it serves both user interface and visual identity across a wide range of sizes. The design channels automotive aesthetics through sharp angles, strong strokes, and an italic designed to convey speed. Beyond its gaming origins, the six-style family includes considered refinements—tapered bowl-stem junctions, cropped diagonal stroke endings, and distinctive 'g' and 'y' shapes—that extend its utility well past the original brief. Character coverage spans Extended Latin and Cyrillic, with index number variants on white and black backgrounds.
