Fluxetype is a typeface that exists at the intersection of humanist sans and serifless roman. The first Fluxetype letters were cut out of paper, taken into separate pieces, and then reassembled. Moving and shifting pieces, Nikita Kanarev explored the mechanics of variability transferred from the digital world to the analogue one. The graphic concept of the typeface was born as a result of this practice.
In Fluxetype, form and counterform interlock according to the logic of a so-called dovetail joint used in woodworking. The two parts fit into one another so well that the shape itself keeps the entire structure together — requiring neither glue nor nails.
Fluxetype Collection contains four optical sizes (Caption, Text, Title, and Display), three x-height options (Petite — 70% of cap height, Standard — 74%, and Grande — 78%), and a range of weights from Thin to Black. The collection totals 84 static styles and one variable font with three axes.
Fluxetype supports extended Cyrillic and Latin — covering 325 languages, including Bulgarian, Serbian, and Macedonian. The font contains a number of arrows, a basic set of mathematical symbols, and distinctive alternates for some uppercase characters, such as A and M.
