Irzad Norandito Norandito

Irzad Norandito is an Indonesian type designer whose work focuses on display typefaces and large type families. His practice is driven by an interest in rhythm, optical balance, and the relationships between letterforms rather than the design of individual characters alone. He enjoys developing type systems across multiple weights and styles, with particular attention to spacing, kerning, and family consistency. Ligatures and alternate characters also play an important role in his work, not simply as stylistic features but as tools for shaping the rhythm and silhouette of words. His influences range from editorial typography and calligraphy to architecture and public signage, often drawing from how typography functions in real-world environments. He is particularly interested in creating typefaces that feel expressive without sacrificing clarity, allowing them to work across branding, publishing, and other display applications. As part of the foundry, Irzad continues to explore how thoughtful type design can support visual communication through carefully built systems rather than isolated forms.
