2743 Introduction to Typeface Design, Fall 2025


Siglo is a revival of Century Expanded, originally designed to perform consistently across a wide range of point sizes, from compact text settings to more assertive display use. I chose to revive Century Expanded because Its narrow proportions structure felt compelling as a starting point for reworking a traditional serif intended for smaller text sizes.
