Lunica Typeface

2006–2015


Lunica is a unique mono­linear take on the traditional serif type­face. While classic serif fonts typically feature contrasting horizontal and vertical strokes, Lunica’s consistent line weight defies convention. Its geo­metric serifs and hand­writing-inspired flourishes give it a distinctive, poetic character. Emphasizing the mono­line concept, no optical corrections were made, except for over­shoots on round shapes. The rounded endings enhance its graphic impact, giving the typeface the look of an engraving font.

Lunica was released in 2014 through Gestalten and was featured in Yearbook of Type 2 by Slanted Publishers and Niggli Verlag. Lunica licenses are available on www.olof.ch.
