As a result of ”overexposure“, counters (internal spaces) are closed in, while characters become blurred and turn into spots new characteristic forms are created which are astoundingly legible.The fat version ✽eFonte Gros« is particularly appealing.
The bold version ✽eFonte Gros« is especially attractive. The characters are ”nibbled at“ from the inner and outer brightness.On the normal and semibold typestyles, ✽eFonte Normale« and ✽eFonte Demi Gras«, the effect is limited almost exclusively to the end strokes and corners, which appears to be strongly rounded off. The distortion principle used simulates the photographic effect of halation and/or overexposure.The light weight, ✽eFonte Léger«, nearly breaks on the thin points, whereas on those points where the lines meet or cross, dark spots remain. A variation of ”Helvetica according to the blur principle.“The underlying typeface is ”Helvetica“, the only true ”run-of-the-mill“ typeface of the twentieth century.
