»Atlantic« is a typeface born from calligraphic letterings and drawing exercises and serves as a bridge between 16th-century letterforms and contemporary typography. Its graceful oscillation captures the essence of an elegant, highly contrasted serif face, while simultaneously embracing the sharp edges inspired by the heart-shaped forms of a Cuban chain.
The distinctive feature of »Atlantic« lies in its bend at the midpoint, making it both left- and right-italic. This unique characteristic represents a reinterpretation of traditional type classifications and opens up a new category that can be described as the »double-slant.«
