À propos de la famille


Rigel was inspired by one poster by American artist and illustrator Katherine Milhous. It was a poster promoting the Ephrata Cloister in 1936. The letters from the Ephrata title on this poster are very concise and expressive, reminiscent of blackletter, but have a simplified look, which looks quite fresh even today. It was very inspiring to bring this font to life.


In the process of redrawing and redesigning, the font has been slightly modified, but retained the character of those six letters from the reference poster. This is a header font consisting only of uppercase letters. It contains 6 styles from Light to ExtraBold.


Despite the fact that the font has the character of blackletter, due to simplified forms, increased contrast and sharp lines, the font looks like a modern rethinking of Gothic script and it has found a new life.


The name Rigel is taken for a reason. Rigel is a star, an blue supergiant in the constellation of Orion, and the Ancient Egyptians associated Rigel with the Sah - king of stars and patron of the dead. The human body after mummification was also seen as the embodiment of the soul. Of course, there is no direct connection between the font and Egyptian mythology, but indirectly in this way I wanted to emphasize even more the idea of incarnation, rebirth.


Rigel is good for posters, large headlines, logos and any other large font compositions.

Rigel

À propos Supremat

Roman Postovoy is a web and graphic designer based in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. For more than four years I have been creating various posters, mostly based on typography. After more than three hundred poster works, I thought that it would be cool to create my own fonts to also use them in your work. Typography has always inspired me. I often photograph posters on the streets, individual letters or words on the walls, product labels or logos. I was very impressed by the typography of the Bauhaus period and the period of Swiss typography. This inspiration will greatly influence poster work in the future. Fonts are everywhere around you and now I like to create my own fonts.
