| LegauR high contrast, different angles |

The design of a typeface often takes a long way. You always start with a idea, maybe one element. Gradually it develops into a complex system of form and proportion. Sometimes the initial idea vanishes at some point. Legau started as a redesign, but the final typeface is quite unique. That is the reason why I avoid to talk much about the stages of the development. Legau has got quite some contrast. The end of the stroke is always vertical or horizontal and in most cases sharp. LegauU with an upright or neoclassic angle in the round characters. It seems most organized and in control. LegauA with an oldstyle stroke in the round characters. It seems naturally warm and caring. LegauR with a flipped angle in the round characters. It seems disturbing and adventurous. Every alternate lives in a different athmosphaere. In copy you should not get heavier than Heavy. Extrabold and Ultrabold work best in display. LegauU LegauA   |
