Oktal Mono Bold Italic | DTP+Web Combo

0 ratings

A monospaced type family composed of entirely monolinear and modular structure, Oktal Mono first began as a design-philosophical discourse between Joachim Müller-Lancé and Erik Adigard of the design studio M-A-D in Sausalito, California.

After an octagonal base was determined most ap­propri­ate for the average text size, the required glyphs were as­sembl­ed on a square grid like a construction toy, yielding large numbers of variations. Lastly, in lively discussion as al­ways, character shapes were select­ed for the best fit in rhythm and a con­sistent aes­thetic.

Although Oktal Mono began as monolinear, a slight mod­ul­ation was applied to ease reading: Horizontal strokes were made a touch thinner than the verticals, with diagon­als weighing in between. While never straying from 45° diagonals, detail was achieved by subdividing the grid for more complex characters and smaller shapes. Thus, the rhythm of letterforms becomes more intricate at times, but the tempo never changes.

Regardless of the construction method, Oktal Mono has a clean, rational aesthetic, devoid of ornamentation but still approachable and friendly. Use it un­compromis­ingly to facilitate cutting edge graphic design and new ideas. Put its versatility to the test; try it out for portions of text or go big for product packaging, logos, and posters.
