Lucifer is a typeface by Hoang Nguyen and David Gobber that features contemporary aesthetics while being deeply rooted in a lesser-known part of Swiss design history. Its sharp, expressive serifs and overall organic look are inspired by the hand-lettering of Swiss designer Robert Stöcklin in his poster for the Schweizer Mustermesse Basel in 1924. • Lucifer gives recognition to the work of Stöcklin by incorporating many unique visual traits of its reference material while being optimised for the demands of contemporary design professionals. The typeface’s expressive aesthetic excels in wordmarks, headlines and poster designs. At the same time, it is suitable for various kinds of running text, which makes it a respectable, unique workhorse type family. • Lucifer consists of eight styles and is also available as a variable font. It supports a wide range of Latin-based scripts, including Vietnamese and Pinyin (Mandarin Chinese), to ensure its usability in a broader international context.
