Canton

ABOUT THE DESIGN

Research project: Design a a high-contrast serif typeface that can successfully merge visual appeal with readability

​

PROJECT SCOPE

 The typeface is defined by a strong contrast between thick and thin strokes, emphasizing both clarity and distinctiveness. The main focus of Canton is its refined curvature, which softens the overall aesthetic while maintaining the structural integrity of a traditional serif. The smooth transition between the main strokes and extended serifs contributes to a sense of sophistication, making Canton suitable for a range of typographic applications. This typeface demonstrates how contrast and curvature can work together to create a visually appealing yet functional design.
