Typography in service of a mark
First release · 1.0.69
Neomodette
Aa Gg Rr Ss
A geometric sans in dialogue with Futura and the Bauhaus's geometric modernism, built from parametric first principles.
Type tester
Cast iron takes its shape from the mold, not from a hammer and an eye.
OpenType
Variable axes
Each axis exists to solve a design problem.
These are not hidden in the tester. Name, range, reason, and a live sample for each.
CNDS
Condensity
Condensity tightens or widens the same construction instead of shipping separate width families. Use it when the line has to fit.
Expanded → Condensed
HEADLINES IN TIGHT COLUMNS
ITLC
Oblique
This axis slants the roman construction. It is not a true italic — there is no shift to cursive forms — and it is not faux-italic. Negative values reverse the slant (retalic).
Retalic → Oblique
A designed oblique of the roman.
GRAD
Grade
Grade darkens or lightens the strokes while every advance width stays put, so text set in it never reflows.
Lighter → Heavier
The line breaks stay where they were.
OpenType
Features drawn, not faked.
smcp
Small caps
Small capitals are drawn at full stroke weight, not scaled down from the caps.

CAST IRON TYPE
Editorial
Running text at a working measure.
Cast iron takes its shape from the mold, not from a hammer and an eye. Every curve came from a parameter, then finished by hand.

Wall text for a gallery or museum graphic.

Set narrow
Multi-script beta coverage this early is unusual for an indie foundry's first release. Read a paragraph at a working measure, not just a display specimen.
Cast iron takes its shape from the mold, not from a hammer and an
eye. Every curve in this typeface came from a parameter, checked
against genre and proportion, then finished by hand.
Reading sample
Theodore Roosevelt, "Citizenship in a Republic," 1910 — long enough to show rhythm across several sentences, not just a single line.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how
the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have
done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually
in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;
who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and
again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming.
Code sample
Neomodette is a display and text sans, not a monospace — there's no fixed-width metric here. This is a look at how the letterforms hold up under real symbol density: brackets, operators, mixed-case identifiers.
