Agathe's innovative typeface Hardanger combines traditional embroidery with digital design, utilizing a 7-pixel grid to bridge aesthetics and legibility while celebrating craftsmanship.
"The constraints of the block led me to find a compromise between legibility and aesthetics. I wanted the letters to be understandable but exist in the maximalist world of embroidery."
"Agathe wanted the whole letterset to feel like a large piece of embroidery: a distinctly decorative element to any design project."
With three alternative versions of the typeface, Agathe carefully transforms pixels into patterns derived from the embroidery technique, culminating in a print type specimen.
