TYPE DESIGN

Lina Kaltenberg – Hypotax

by Lina Kaltenberg

Hypotax is multiitalic type family composed of four textstyles: Roman, Slant, Cursive and Extracursive. The typesystem explores how typography can reveal textual structures before the content is fully read, easing visual comprehension of referenced material. Each style is assigned a specific relational function, such as indicating quotation depth, contextual information, or emphasis. By embedding relational information directly into the typeface, Hypotax proposes an alternative typographic hierarchy that makes textual connections perceptible at a glance.
