Typeface Design for Retiler

Every glyph the same height — diacritics included

Retiler is a modular typeface by Rodion Ilyukhin built on a strict grid: each glyph's m box divides into three macro modules, each containing 24 micro modules arranged across a six-column grid. Lowercase and uppercase letters share the same height; diacritics push the letter into the m box, keeping everything within bounds for tight-leading headline use. A stylistic set takes accent marks out of the m box, making the face usable for small-text settings. The modular structure also supports vector graphic construction by disassembling individual glyphs into component modules.
