About this typeface:
Comalle is an organic typeface that rescues some elements of handwritten script, but its stroke does not necessary answer to a literal calligraphy structure.
In order Comalle could produce a powerful impact in the page, it was designed with thicker strokes than its counter forms. The objective is that the black of the letter fills the page and causes a fastest visual impact than typographies that balance blacks and whites.
One of the most important tasks of Comalle design was to think how to handle the unequal percentages of blacks and whites in the typeface. The peculiar thing, is that the precision work of the letter does not make the blacks, but the whites, reason why in one first instance it was very valid to start off designing in a very gross way, neverthe- less, the majority energies are put in the details of the design of counter space.
From the drained filling concept of forms Comalle was born, a typeface that pretends to enchant with its delicate counter space design and to impact with the heavy outlines which compose its form.
