Brücke Display

Capstone project 2021

Brucke Display is a typeface that hearkens back to the woodcut prints of Ernst Ludwig Kirchner from the early 20th century art movement, German Expressionism. Taking direct influence from the woodcut manifesto of the collective, Die Brücke (The Bridge), this typeface translates the handcut letterforms into a digital functional typeface.
