OUGD404: Type Journal



I found this type on the spine of books by sic-fi writer Ian M. Banks. It looks block like but could also be silicone, the subtle roundness on these glyphs make me feel like they would break under constant printing. I'd characterise this type as sturdy and strong, it feels very structured and stable with little chance of falling over and yet manages to feel ever so slightly soft, not enough for the type to loose it's it's authority as it dominates the spine and cover, but enough to make you feel like you can approach it.
