Tephra
2008
Developed with Dalton Maag, Tephra is a new type family based on the lower-case typeface designed at 8vo in 1994, for interact, a special issue of the American Center for Design Journal and later used for the 1997 Flux New Music Festival poster series.
The original type has been extended and updated to include full upper- and lower-case character sets, numerals, punctuation and European accents. Tephra is available in OpenType Format, as a family of six fonts; solid and five related outline versions – Tephra 0; Tephra 12; Tephra 50; Tephra 100; Tephra 138; Tephra 250.
To promote Tephra, a series of six prints designed by Hamish Muir has been produced in a limited edition of 50 sets. Format 100 x 70 cm, 2-colour silkscreen – a common base colour overprinted with a different colour metallic ink for each of the six designs.
Prints can be bought from the Dalton Maag web site.
