Spacing is part of the letter.
A word is more than a sequence of shapes. The spaces between those shapes set its pace. Try opening up a short heading, then bringing it back together: the same letters can feel surprisingly different.
An independent type notebook
Small letters.
Endless possibilities.
A place to slow down and look at words: their shapes, their spacing, and the quiet rhythm between them.
A little room for type
01 / PLAYGROUNDMake room for words.
Notes to keep nearby
02 / OBSERVATIONSRead it at its real size.
A beautiful oversized specimen does not tell the whole story. Bring a typeface down to a paragraph, give it a comfortable line length, and read a few sentences. Texture and rhythm become easier to judge.
The colophon
03 / ABOUTScrewtype is a small, evolving collection of typographic experiments. This page uses your device’s system fonts and a familiar serif. The playground runs entirely in your browser; your text is not sent anywhere.
