Woodkit Solid
Design Concept
Woodkit is a type system inspired by wood type and letterpress and consists of three families – Solid, Print and Reprint, each with six distinct styles covering various alphabet designs, components and miscellaneous ornaments. Woodkit supports Latin, Cyrillic and Greek scripts. Read more about the development of Woodkit in this article.
Rotating Glyphs
When typing with basic ligatures turned on, the font automatically rotates between three different versions for each letter or number. With contextual alternates turned on, five different versions are rotated, three a full square and two a half square wide. And finally, when discretionary ligatures are turned on, the font rotates only between the two half-square versions. All this combined together allows for a rich setting where no two words look alike.
Ornaments
Woodkit comes with Ornaments, a selection of 500 symbols, shapes, mid-century-inspired dingbats and seamless patterns to complement the other Woodkit styles.
Typographic Figurines
Additionally, there is a separate Figures style allowing the stacking of blocks on top of one another to create almost 400,000 possible figures – there are 78 heads, 8 arms, 8 legs and 8 trunks to choose from and 10 different hats to top it off.
