Anatoma {Specimen}
Please meet Anatoma, a family of typefaces. Anatoma is a study of British type design through the creation of a sans-serif typeface which aims to unveil the letterforms that shape the national typographic heritage. My interest in the topic is to understand if it is possible to have a typeface which we can identify as British, not meant as a visual portrayal of national identity, but as a contemporary typeface which holds, embedded, the history, evolution and use of letterforms. Anatoma is the output of my MA thesis: The Anatomy of the British Character or how to make a typeface that talks about typographic history.
