Letters almost kissing

 Earlier this year I used the OpenType feature of contextual alternatives to alternate letter shapes that snuggled together such as letters based on trapezoids or concave/convex shapes. In October I wondered if I could do better with concave/convex lettering than I had done in Lentzers and set out to design a font with greater curvature and much tightly letter spacing. The result is the three-font family of CloseTogether.

CloseTogether has three weights: regular, bold, and extrabold. Some of the letter shapes look strange in isolation but take the form they do so they fit as concave or convex shapes. This is a typeface that is definitely not appropriate when readability is desired.

If the user finds the letter spacing too tight, the user can alter it with character spacing. The user can also change the character spacing and turn off the contextual alternatives to use just one set of the characters.

 CloseTogether is available from fontspring and myfonts.
