Years of Production: 2018–2020
Glyphset: Latin Extended-A
Delphia’s design references early 20th century Gothics like ATF’s «Lining Gothic», «Gothic No. 545» and more. With nearly triangular counter-shapes, the lowercase was kept fairly close to the original. The rest of the typeface is headed into a more contemporary and clear style, making it useable for more than print purposes. The clear skeleton also made it possible to expand the typeface with multiple weights and widths, without sacrificing its untypical character.

Family Overview (3 Widths, 7 Weights)
The wide range of styles makes Delphia an ideal tool for a variety of applications, whether in print or on the web. The different widths allow even the smallest text to be legible, while keeping the expression of the type subtle but strongly recognisable. Delphia was designed with the goal of creating a workhorse family that has enough distinctiveness to cover the power spectrum of an entire brand. The clear skeleton allowed the typeface to be extended with multiple weights and widths without losing its atypical geometric but dynamic character. It features a double-storey /a and shortened descenders as stylistic set to enhance its performance in headlines. It comes with matching italics and small caps in all styles.
