CURIOUSER BOOK

TYPE DESIGN


Curiouser Book is a modern text face with bold and pronounced details. Based loosely on Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, the type takes inspiration from some of the key characteristics of the popular novel written in 1865. It attempts to combine themes of subtle playfulness with elements of elegant forms evident in classical books, striving to balance the thematic notions of the book with its historical context. Curioser Book thus draws from familiar forms such as Athelas, inspired by British classical literature, and Servus Slab which has asymmetrical and fun qualities. The text face is designed with Robofont.
