Types float on surfaces, holding a sense of order, aligned yet scattered, creating new rhythms and meanings. Drawn into typewritten poetry back in the 1960s, Blank Dokument aims as a typeface to carry the legacy of a typewriter, proportional rather than monospaced, with clean strokes to meet contemporary features.

Based on the typeface IBM Dokument (also known as IBM-Dokument or Schreibmaschinenschrift IBM-Dokument), which was produced as a printing typeface by the Stempel foundry in 1960 and utilized on actual IBM typewriters, Blank Dokument maintains functionality as body text at 9–10pt size.

I delved into the original structure of the letter stems rather than replicating the texture of inked serifs. The form of the serifs was changed from rounded to squared, and the entire set was narrowed down while keeping Cushing Antique, designed by Morris Benton for ATF in 1902, close at hand as a secondary reference.
