dema

about

Dema is a wide, low-contrast serif typeface, drawn in a single regular weight and lowercase only—for now. It started with uppercase letters, but the real voice of the typeface didn’t appear until I began drawing the lowercase. That’s when everything shifted. The design asked—insisted—to be rethought. So I followed that impulse, and let the shapes stretch out, breathe, and speak in their own tone.
