“Looklyn is an affable slab with a nontraditional serif weight distribution. Its extra-thin vertical serifs balance the weight of the body stroke, which creates a nice thick-and-thin rhythm that other slab typefaces don’t usually have. The skeleton is geometric and structural, while the open diagonals—such as A, K, V, W and Y—are based on handwritten strokes. This hybrid of an architectural skeleton and a humanist characteristic gives the typeface a contemporary yet approachable quality. Looklyn is available in five weights and corresponding italics.”
