Amilias did so, and, lo! he fell in two halves; for the sword had cut sheer through the vaunted war-coat, and cleft in twain the great body incased within.

The master, Mimer, sheathed his sword, and walked slowly down the hillside to the plain.

I see you, I know you're here. Behind every tree. Behind every stone. Your love shields me.

Be kind — so they said. As we are but shooting stars in the wind. A breath of life, a whisper in the mist. O for so long have I wanted for this.

There will be text & There will be words. But there won't be any sound. Only the ones you wish for: those you hear in your heart. Those you feel in your soul.

The rain dries. The tree grows. Deep roots — in the marsh. I hide in plain sight the secret knowledge to our heart. For you to be a witness to me up until the end.

Long & Dark days are ahead. Fear not. We are together, hands in hands, until the end of the world. The walls may crack and the roofs may tear away. We are here to stay.

I see you. There is still your smell in the house. I hear you calling me "my son" after a long trip in the woods. I remember every moment. Would you be proud now? Would you turn your face away?

Information

Area is a variable geometric font family of 176 fonts that takes inspiration from architecture. Revolving around two width: Normal and Extended, matching italics. Area comes in three axis and six total styles: Compressed, Normal, Extended and Inktrap versions for each and matching italics. Taking full advantage of the variable technology in order to bring a powerful font system. Like any piece of architecture, the design process of Area started with a stable modular geometrical structure. Once the foundations are laid, its envelope slowly unfolds into a more quiet neogrotesque robe, offering a solid base for any reading experience thanks to its smooth grey. Far from being ornamental, Area inktraps have been planned from A to Z to offer the assurance that even in situations that are trickier and require the use of smaller text, everything will remain steady as steel.
