Santiag

Santiag, designed by Clement Cases, is a contemporary western typeface, inspired by the reversal of stress in the character strokes of the mythic Italian typefaces from the 19th century. This typeface is a modern take on the genre, attempting to incorporate geometric shapes into the counter forms. Featuring bold shapes that relate to serifs, the half-circle is key to creating the rhythm and distinct character of the typeface. The height of the base is adjustable, giving the overall typography a cartoonish feel.
