Shaker has three families; Condensed, Regular and Wide. Each family comprises of 10 fonts with weights from Light to Heavy. In the latest issue of Footnote we highlight various aspects of its design.
With the spotlight on Shaker, Footnote 33 details several of its typographic features.
We also show the design thinking behind its letter shapes alongside development sketches, some of which are shown for the first time.
The Font Info PDF gives an overview of the detailing of the typeface; its widths, weights, features and abilities.
The Shaker design notes at StudioType.com focus on its origins and commonality with our Enigma typeface as well as some of the challenges of designing a sans serif.
At the end of 2019 we opened the Gallery as a fresh way to show our fonts. Continuing this approach we’ve built a dedicated Explorer page for Shaker. Through the Explorer you can glide over the typeface; its shapes, words and symbols, then click to discover more. Explorer is best experienced through a desktop, laptop or larger mobile screen.
