PP Gymnasium

PP Gymnasium is to reckon as an experiment, hard to define because its premiss and defining characters have been dictated during its process of creation. It’s a shaggy serif typeface with over 700 characters in two styles, including stylistic alternates, optical sizes, old-style numbers and wide language support. A typeface that has been in the making over a two-year period, where newly acquired knowledge and technique has been applied during the process, hence the name – Gymnasium. Seeing that most of its personality and quirkiness comes from a naive approach and a lack of knowledge, blended together with an increasing respect and insight into the classic principles. The result is a typeface, schooled by its own process.
