Decimal for Monotype
Monotype, a digital type foundry known for designing, licensing, and distributing typefaces, acquired the Hoefler&Co. collection, one of the world's most prestigious type foundries. I had the opportunity to collaborate on developing specimens for Decimal, one of the last of a handful of typefaces designed by H&Co. during this transition. Inspired by the details of wristwatches, Decimal was designed to preserve the meticulous craft of horology.
