Natri

Natri Font Family was designed by Ján Filípek and published by DizajnDesign. Natri contains 15 styles and family package options. An Architectural Typeface inspired by Calligraphy and Sign-paintingThe shape of the strokes and the typeface proportions were heavily influenced by two sources: broad nib calligraphy and speed stroke caps.There are different methods of interpreting the handwriting. In the case of Natri, instead of forcing a handmade look, it takes advantage of computer digitization. The natural stroke endings of brush lettering are replaced with strict mechanic-geometric look. In certain letter combinations, letters look like architectural objects – buildings viewed from above.The vector drawings were tested over and over with the brush until it was possible to letter them by hand, so it could be used as a lettering model as well. The possibility of having the computer font and being able to write it by hand gives the typeface new possibilities – these two modes can be combined in projects such as corporate identity programs.
