Norma *WIP
Type Design, 2025
Norma is a reverse-contrast condensed sans-serif typeface inspired by city road markings. Designed with a fluid and organic approach, it draws influence from stretched letterforms on the ground seen during everyday walks through the city. Soft, rounded counter spaces balance the rigid structure, giving the typeface a more human and approachable feel.

Special thanks to Juan Villanueva and Corinne Ang. Additional thanks to Jess Ragan, Matteo Bologna, Shuohui Zeng, and Cris Hernández.
