Originally created between the years 2002 and 2004, the motivation for the style stemmed from the ideas of Stefano Giovannoni's uber-contemporary industrial styles and architecture. Where to begin with such a font style design was apparent to Diphthong Regular's designer, Max Hancock; to produce a transitional, piece serif form that was corky and serious, interchangeably. The qualities of the font style followed a postmodern playfulness, popular in lots of sub-cultures trying to find an option to the harsher, cut-shape, deconstructivist styles. And, the special objective behind the design was to make it so that the normal hard mix of the t and h (hth) in language was clear as well as pleasant to take a look at, hence the reason for the name. The soft, subtle roundings include a style of utilitarianism while the cut edge ascenders assist to blur the line between cute and diametrical quirks.
