Info

ABC Whyte is a contemporary grotesque typeface filled with idiosyncrasies and character, and it’s available as two distinctive subfamilies. ABC Whyte has smooth and sharp transitions, while ABC Whyte Inktrap has ink traps at its joints. Ink traps were necessary during the hot metal type printing era, in order to improve the quality of printed text. Using variable font technology, users are able to deepen or shorten the ink traps of this typeface for the first time, sliding from deep wells to shorter cuts. In doing so, Whyte transforms something once functional into a beautiful design detail in its own right.
