Tadpole

By Yeun Kim · San Francisco, California, USA

Tadpole

Tadpole takes cues from mechanical typefaces used in industrial applications but aims for better usability in a broader range of contexts. Its straight edges and geometric shapes convey precision and clarity, with rounded curves adding fluidity and warmth. The condensed width and proportion allow for versatility in application, even at small scale. While the two weights share the same base structure, each is optimized for a specific use case.
