Overview

BUILT FROM FIRST PRINCIPLES

Most typefaces begin with tradition and refine it. Liger started with a voice and built the letters to carry it. Designed from first principles — no templates, no historical references as a crutch — the typeface has a complete glyph set with international character support. It was built to own a space. No other typeface sounds like this one.

Approach
Built from scratch — skeleton forms first, then optical corrections, spacing, kerning, and a complete character set with international support.
Character
Sharp but not aggressive. Confident but not loud. Liger holds tension between raw energy and controlled precision — same as the rest of the portfolio.
Scope
Full glyph set: A–Z, a–z, 0–9, punctuation, ligatures, and international character support for extended use across languages.

Outcome

WHAT IT BECAME

Liger is the foundation of a complete visual language — built not to imitate existing typefaces but to define its own territory. Typography at this level is a commitment: every decision (stroke weight, aperture, x-height) carries design intent. The result is a typeface that can't be confused for anything else.
