01 / The family

A family
with range.

Panel began with a fixed-width challenge: give every letter the same space, and give each one a personality. Mark Caneso grew that idea into four related families, with and without serifs.

Expressive slabs. A rhythm of their own. Proportional / Serif

Panel
Bold / Roman

Same family. Different character.

The same words. A different voice.

An alternate ampersand changes the conversation.

THE SPACE BETWEENVOL. 04

On leaving
a little room.

A good sentence knows when to stop. It leaves a little space for a thought to settle, a question to form, or a different voice to join in.

The same is true of a letter. Give it a frame, and see what it makes of the room.
