Overview
Priding itself on an elegant but flamboyant attitude, Mink draws its character from classic serifs — exaggerating their features into dramatic spikes and inverting the conventional stress axis in the spirit of Caslon's Italian.


“Perverse Monstrosities”
Caslon's Italian was a major influence for Mink, being described as “perverse”, but done with sureness and confidence. Finding inspiration in this playful but decisively extreme approach, I designed Mink with that sensibility in mind.
