Rooftiles

in: Storm Type Library 5

Rooftile font idea arose while staring at the ceiling during siesta time in Goa. All houses here have these fine Mangalore tiles. Each piece is marked on the back by a lovely typeface, which was apparently cut as negative in the mold. All irregularities are deliberate as imperfection is a typical indian feature. The present 5 font family is ideally suited for marking rooftiles and other brickware products. Its spicy expression makes it usable for packaging design of any colonial goods as well.
