Sukashi

A compact typeface drawn by hand on grid paper, then built to exact grid measurements. Nothing hangs below the baseline, so lines stack tight.

Where it came from

Every letter started as a pencil drawing on metric grid paper. Capitals line up to a guide just above the middle of the letter, lowercase to a guide just below it, which is what gives the face its pointed C and low crossbars.

What it's good for

Because nothing drops below the baseline, Sukashi packs into short line heights: journals, planners, labels, notes, and text that follows a curve. It works in cutting machines like Cricut and Silhouette.
