Polygraph: a Playful Typeface from Pintassilgo Prints
Polygraph: a Playful Typeface from Pintassilgo Prints

We're loving this fun-loving typeface: Polygraph by Pintassilgo Prints, a type foundry in Brazil.



Stocked by YouWorkForThem, the Polygraph's design and hand-drawn flair was inspired by the posters of polish artist Leszek Zebrowski.
"Polygraph is a highly unusual face. Packed with eccentric alternates, it is an all-caps font with four exchangeable variations for each letter. These alternates are programmed to cycle when the font is used in OpenType-savvy programs, creating a random effect on glyphs distribution. The resulting pieces are truly outstanding, with an audacious handmade twist, [or] when you need a more well-behaved look, but still with a subtle hand-drawn flair, turn off the contextual alternates and set text in uppercase."
