Graphic and Type Design



Placar is a rounded sans serif typeface originally designed for display sizes. Refined and constructed, it’s light cut began as a free exploration. It’s boldest cut is a modern interpretation of heavy wood type; blending its rigid structures, acquired from its light weight, and a soft roundess to create an eye-catching aesthetic. Carrying that distinct character through all weights, Placar’s interpolation reveals unexpected structures in form which create a charming normal weight for smaller sizes.
