Cyrene – Part 2: Typeface Design

The influence for the typeface is from is a Cadillac advertisement for the 1958 Supremacy. The extreme serif design is what attracted my attention to the form design in the advertisement. The essence of each original letter was transformed into a form that would work well in today’s age of technology. The forms are designed to work particularly well in words and as a display face.
