Cast Iron Type

A type foundry, built by hand

Typefaces built from geometric and mathematical first principles.

Not traced. Not reconstructed. Every letterform runs through a purpose-built parametric design language, shaped by artistic judgment — engineered, not eyeballed.

Neomodette

A geometric sans in dialogue with Futura and the Bauhaus's geometric modernism — built from parametric first principles, not reconstructed from either. Full Latin-1, Latin-1 Supplement, and most of Latin Extended-B, with Cyrillic, Armenian, and Greek in beta. Specialty punctuation included: interrobang, asterism, percontation point.

Method, not history

Every typeface runs through a custom parametric design language and custom-built editing software — not a font editor and a mouse, and not a scan of a historical specimen.
