GRADUATION PROJECT

Zalfia is a typeface family that comes from writing with the flat brush, by manipulating it and experimenting with it. It has five styles: two different displays with cursive construction elements and three text styles. The project aims to explore and visualize contrasting personalities, implement their characteristics into letterforms and search for a way to combine them.

At the same time, Zalfia investigates the relationship between the outside and the inside, finding balance within a letter and within a group of them while still keeping each one unique, especially in display styles. Zalfia offers a group of versatile styles that work well together, but can also be used in different environments and applications.
