Pressio is a study in doing things backwards. We started with the weight that's generally drawn last: the ultra-compressed black. This was compressed down vertically in increments to make the compressed, condensed, and routine widths, then hollowed like a dugout canoe to produce the lighter weights. The narrower strong cuts are motivated by the great mid-century skyline sanses. The best cuts are stark, idiosyncratic, and intense. In in between, 20 styles in five weights and 4 widths offer a broad variety of expression. Types are rigorous and modular. X-height is high. Curves are subtly superelliptical, and square counters add quality. For those who prefer it, a set of stylistic alternates is readily available to round some of the all of a sudden sharp corners of letters like S, s, and a. Case-sensitive punctuation and delimiters are consisted of, and a full variety of diacritics provides assistance for over 130 languages. And it goes well with its sibling household, Pressio Stencil.
