LTR Principia

Erik van Blokland

LTR Principia is a delightful new variable typeface with seven carefully picked widths. The most condensed version takes up about half the space of the widest, which means you can have a lot of fun fitting words into tight corners or stretching them to fill a void. Principia is excellent for headlines, titles, spines, logos, posters, exhibitions, banners, billboards and sides of buildings. With its wasp-waisted contrast and distinctive ball terminals, it’s a stand-out in all sizes.

    Erik van Blokland, Netherlands (2022)

    LettError has been producing groundbreaking designs since the early days of digital type. Curiosity about why things are done as they are, combined with a dedication to developing new tools, has resulted in a diverse body of work that pushes the boundaries of what type can be and do.

    Now we are a studio for type design and typography based in The Hague, Netherlands. We have developed typefaces for large organisations and brands and lettering for the University Library in Amsterdam, literally the size of buildings!

    We publish some amazing typefaces that you will immediately recognise, like this variable typewriter LTR NCND; and LTR Federal, the gold standard digitisation of the US currency engravings. Read more about how LTR Beowolf and BeoSans, the original randomfonts, returned safely to the LettError intellectual property portfolio. And let your imagination run free with LTR Principia, a spirited display, variable width serif headliner that is just hopping to be on books and brands.
