With optical sizes for text and a display, Tesseract shimmers across media. The Display size plays the wide aperture and x-height card, chiseled terminals and see-through counterspace. The Text size is quieter, with a firm and sturdy structure for immersive reading. The italics dance a vibrant staccato and complete the family.
The crucible for Tesseract is made of many; and not unlike Walt Whitman’s multitudes, it contains paradoxes. Where round turns give affability and amplitude to the design, abrupt endings and spiky details grant some grave austerity to a an otherwise delicate design.
