essence was designed by David Kloeg and published by kloeg architecture. essence contains 5 styles and family package options.
The objective of this font is to find the essence of our Latin alphabet and therefore the essence of every single glyph in it.
The search was lead by two principles:
1. What are the basic building blocks of each glyph?
2. Stripped back from any superfluous movements while writing, what shape would remain?
The resulting design consists of merely straight lines and circles. The basic elements of each glyph are accented by a gap.
