The “SUNBATHER" Typeface
by 23in & ABRC
$30.00
For the first time commercially available, the official "Sunbather" typeface in 3 weights - Book, Bold, and Black.
"Sunbather" is a stenciled flare-serif display face inspired by bright light and dissipating legibility. Referencing similar historical type experiments by Jan Tschicold, it questions the mind to connect what the eyes cannot see when the thinnest strokes of a didone font evaporate. The results were then finely tapered and sharpened to create a stern and angular mood when set in text or large words.
"Sunbather Book" was originally designed for Deafheaven's acclaimed 2013 album cover, with the "Bold" weight crafted for use in smaller text, song titles, and throughout the packaging, print and web campaign. The "Black" weight is the most recent addition, created to round out the suite.
Free download of "Sunbather Book” with all Deafheaven blanket or poster purchases, or all 3 weights for $30.
