Designer's Notes

Octuple max is a typographic experiment where all the proportions and measures of the characters and metrics are multiples of the number eight. The result is a very steep typography of square proportion with a great contrast between the horizontal/vertical horns and rounded in all corners.

I started with an inclination of 32° for all the letters, then I built a grid with horizontal divisions of 48/u of height, so I defined the height of the x: 48×11=528/u, the height of the capitals and ascenders: 48×16=768/u, the descending ones: 48×4=192/u and the baseline of the diacritical accents: 48×17=816/u.
