Peggs

Originally drawn in 2009, Peggs’ overall DNA was based upon monospaced typewriter fonts. Upon inspection we noticed that when printed, some of these earlier types gained unintended characteristics via the crass print processes they were subjected to (think under-, and over-inking). We took these unintentional moments and utilized them as characteristics — through the strokes that don’t quite join up and the pooling of color in certain connections.

Initially created in a singular bold weight for the identity of Peggs & son., a retail fashion shop in Brighton, UK, we revisited the design, fully redrawing the forms, respacing and extending into a multi-weight family, with extensive OpenType features.

Peggs is available in four weights — Light, Regular, Medium and Bold. It is open to licensing in both Standard (‘STD’) and Professional (‘PRO’) versions, the latter containing additional OpenType features, stylistic alternates, and symbols.
