DIURNE

The DIURNE typeface has the ability to tie the important moments in our lives to the words we type. These moments are marked by a specific location, date, and time, which also describe a precise moment on Earth in relation to the sun’s path. The DIURNE typeface uses this path to create shadows, celebrating a unique moment for the each user through the typeface. These shadows move through a range of varying angles, thicknesses, and lengths giving individuality to each font.
A customized font can celebrate moments for a range of occasions.

Personal moments like birthdays or weddings, business anniversaries for branding, or historical events or achievements can be solidified and highlighted with their own unique fonts. The single moment is showcased in the font, connecting the importance of the words with the importance of the event. Rather than merely choosing a font to use, the message itself becomes an individual expression both in its meaning and appearance.

DIURNE relies on a system of design based on the motion of the sun, leaving room for a variety of styles to be created using the same steps. While the first iteration of DIURNE is a serif font, a different input to the system can yield a variety of styles, such as sans serif, script, digital, or more.
