About

Curbe is an expressive display typeface inspired by Soviet 1960s. Technically, there are no historical letterforms — it is more about vibe and style: the script is contemporary, active, broken, dynamic. Many glyphs have alternates. Bold is currently in development; there are plans to design interpolation.

In 2019, Curbe was listed among the winners of Modern Cyrillic, Granshan Type Design Competition, ADC Awards and Morisawa Type Design Competition.

Features

Case sensitive forms, proportional lining figures, proportional oldstyle figures, standard ligatures, discretionary ligatures, contextual ligatures
