Description
This typeface explores the specific nature of single-line fonts and their relationship to Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining. Single-line fonts are distinguished by their uniform lines with no variation in thickness or outline, allowing them to be engraved or cut out by CNC machines with greater speed and precision.
The typeface comes in three styles: Simplex, Duplex, and Triplex, with each developed according to an approach centered on the toolpath.
For Simplex, the thickness of the letters results from a single pass of the machine. In Duplex and Triplex, the initial line is traced side by side two or three times, which allows for increased thickness, added contrast, and optical adjustments.
The typeface manages to meet the specific requirements of machining while simultaneously offering graphic designers extensive freedom to experiment across various mediums, including printing, engraving, pen plotting, and even laser cutting.
