Cuttria is a sans serif (except for lowercase „t“) display typeface. The construction of this font began in a checkered exercise book and was later transfered to a computer – the font comes from a grid environ- ment. Cuttria is a very geometrical font, that formed from triangle cutouts and this is also where the name comes from.
Cuttria is an illustrative font and works well with different grid systems. On it’s own, Cuttria might seem a little plain, but when illustrating it, making it into 3D or using it to mask a photo – it will start to show its true capabilities. Since it’s a display typeface, it’s not suitable for large text masses. It just wouldn’t be enjoyable to read.
At the moment the font has uppercase and lowercase letterforms, but different weights and styles are in consideration. For example Cuttria Light and Cuttria Italic are planned in the near future.
The typeface is suitable for math and physcics book covers, electronic music posters, CD-covers and even street art, because it is easy to reproduce, even by using just duct tape and spray paint.
