Piegraf is a dangerously geometric font family meant for the world's boldest headlines. Despite its strict reliance on circles and squares, Piegraf features just enough legibility and warmth to save it from being reduced to a novelty.

‍
Piegraf was inspired by a handful of vintage geometric fonts that all mined similar territory. Some specific examples include Peter Steiner's Black Body (1973) and Black Pepper (1972), Charles Papirtis' Pink Mouse (1970) and Albert Boton's Black Boton (1970). All of these typefaces featured simplified, chunky outlines that delighted in reducing letters to their simplest forms. In many cases, doing away with counters all together.

‍
Piegraf lands somewhere in between a "Bauhaus" style geometric sans and a simplified, "Pacman" style font. There are even a few OpenType Alternates to experiment with (try it out below). For added versatility, an Italic weight is also available.
