Typeface Design for Typotheque

Nine height variants per glyph, chosen automatically as you type

Mississippi is a typeface by Nikola Djurek (Typotheque, 2019) drawing on mid-20th-century American aesthetics—from high-fashion advertising to cheap commercial ephemera. Each glyph ships in nine height variants; OpenType Contextual Alternates substitutes them automatically to create dynamic rhythmic gradients across words and short texts. The family works best in strong headlines, logos, and longer words, and is also positioned for motion and animation contexts.
