47 fonts built from the visual logic of technical pens and hand-lettered drafting
Plotter is a 47-font type family designed by Nikola Djurek (with contributions from Igino Marini) and released by Typotheque in 2017. It draws on the visual language of hand-lettered technical drawings and architectural plans, reducing letters to monolinear strokes with round terminals as produced by technical pens. The family divides into two structural branches—Plotter (round curves) and Plotter Liner (straight-segment curves)—each extended with Basic, Monospaced, Stencil, Monospaced Stencil, and Display variants. Plotter Hand and Plotter Wave are separate subfamilies. All 47 fonts are available as 12 packages or as the Plotter Suite.

Insights
- Plotter Wave applies contextual OpenType letter substitution to arrange glyph variants by slope angle, progressing from extreme backslant to extreme right slant within a single word.
- Plotter Liner renders curves using only straight segments rather than true curves.
- Plotter Hand introduces irregular letterforms produced by manually tracing architectural stencils.
- Despite the family's scale, OpenType features are intentionally limited—no small caps, only two stylistic sets for alternate 'a' and 'I' forms.
