Deliverables

Capitals and lowercase, ligatures and alternates, accented characters, specimen

Nariva is an all-caps, condensed display typeface built on a geometric logic — flat stems and sharp angles — but run through with curves that resist that rigour. I added alternate forms on certain letter pairs, creating unexpected visual blocks and reinforcing the cohesion of words at large sizes.
