Catorze27 is a typeface inspired by northern Portuguese modernist lettering.
Wrought iron is a widely used element on Portuguese architecture and, as such, the typeface started after collecting several photographs of modernist iron signage in several cities in the north of Portugal, specially in Espinho, Porto, Ponte de Lima and Viana do Castelo.
Version 2.0 is a complete redesign of the 2011’s original: every single glyph was redrawn, recalibrated, re-spaced and re-kerned.
