À propos de la famille


Confiscate AOE originates from the mechanical lettering of a 1929 Adler Klein-Adler typewriter, preserved in the Institute archives as an example of distressed typewriter output shaped by physical wear, environmental damage, and prolonged use. The alphabet maintains the structural authority of classic mechanical serif type, but each glyph displays erosion patterns consistent with aging ribbons, ink bleed, and damaged typebars. Edges fracture, terminals dissolve, and small voids appear within the strokes, creating the impression of a document that has survived repeated copying, storage, and transmission. Rather than presenting a clean reconstruction, Confiscate AOE embraces the visual evidence of deterioration. The texture suggests paperwork that has passed through uncertain conditions: damp archives, chemical exposure, or hurried reproduction under difficult circumstances. This distressed authenticity gives the typeface a powerful narrative quality. The letters feel confiscated, recovered, and preserved as artifacts of bureaucratic history. Confiscate AOE works especially well in designs that benefit from aged authority or investigative atmosphere. It is well suited to vintage document design, espionage themes, historical reconstructions, archival branding, noir graphics, period film titles, and distressed editorial layouts.

À propos Astigmatic

In 1873, the strange and fantastic story began. Nearly two centuries later, Brian J. Bonislawsky was born, and carrying on a mix of the the footsteps his ancestors before him took, he picked up the the traditions and founded the Astigmatic One Eye Foundry, which later expanded to become the Astigmatic One Eye Typographic Institute. (For more of the background story, see the Historical Perspective link below.) Since its founding Astigmatic has worked with dozens of designers, helping them forge their own foundries as well as helping to increase the quality of type created by Astigmatic and these other foundries. Astigmatic strives to continually increase its range of typographic scope; taking on expeditions to revive old typestyles, unearth long lost typefaces, forge new styles yet unseen, and begin to develop more comprehensive language typestyles of the WGL4 set size which includes Greek and Cyrillic extensions. If you are looking for a wide variety of typographic influence and style, the Astigmatic One Eye Institute is your source for type.
