Experimental Typeface for Type.Today
15 stylistic sets let a single line span static antiqua to pseudo-Gothic
CSTM Xprmntl 01 opens type.today's "fast fonts" series, built as an experiment in unifying disparate typographic styles within a single graphic system. The design was produced over roughly one month at approximately one hour per day, with the process documented live on the CSTM Fonts Telegram channel. Fifteen stylistic sets extend the core character set, allowing a single line of text to mix styles as contrasting as static antiqua and geometric grotesque, or Old Church Slavonic and ultra-modern forms.

- Fifteen stylistic sets are used structurally to hold incompatible historical styles within a single coherent system, enabling contrasting forms to coexist in one line of text.
