Ringi Font – This typeface is inspired by the LED typeface of Berlin S-Bahn displays. I’ve been looking at it for years, and what I liked about it is the engineered and pragmatic look of it. I always felt that with just a few tweaks it could look so so much better, even within the limits of the LED grid it was stuck to. Anyway, the person – probably an engineer – who made this, inspired me to design less and be more pragmatic on this project.
So, Ringi is a sans serif design whose horizontal as well as vertical strokes have the same width – a true monolinear design (although there are some few exceptions, where it was really really needed). Ringi’s (very) slanted styles are truly just slanted without any correction of the curves, matching the rest of the stoically engineered aesthetic. The font package includes a variable font, too, making every style across the slant axis accessible.
