Design Concept

Plotter is a massive type family that explores the world of technical drawings and architectural plans. Each subfamily reflects the characteristics of the various tools that inspired the project, tools from an age when technical diagrams were drawn and lettered by hand, and draftsmen needed a simple, efficient way to produce legible text that met established norms. Plotter has the simplified monolinear strokes with round terminals produced by technical pens, its letters reduced to their most basic stencilform elements: stems, arms, curves and diagonals.

Plotter, Design Concept

Plotter Super Family

The family consists of two main versions: Plotter, using round curves, and Plotter Liner which restricts itself to straight segments for rendering curves. Both subfamilies contain a Basic version, Monospaced, Stencil, Monospaced Stencil, and Display version with five filler layers. Separately there is also a Plotter Hand, with irregular shapes resulting from the manual use of architectural stencils, and Plotter Wave, a smart letter substitution version which contextually orders letter shapes according to the angle of slope. All in all, there are 47 fonts available either as 12 separate packages or all together as Plotter Suite.

Contextual Rhythm

While many scribing devices produced letters are often inclined, Plotter Wave uses smart contextual OpenType substitutions to show this off to great effect, creating words with an unusual rhythm and structure as the letters progress from extreme backslant to extreme right slant. Each style has its own pre-programmed behaviour, using over 3,000 glyphs to create a progressive sloping.
