Digigram (digital x grandma) is a modular typeface born from the strange harmony between grandma’s needlepoint and a techno-retro-futuristic DJ’s poster. Drawing on bracket-like forms made with a felt calligraphy pen, Digigram was then vectorized in Illustrator, becoming the heavily gridded, futuristic typeface you see on this display.

Digigram is intended to be used as a display font and would shine best on a techno, punk, avant-garde poster or on your relative’s bible verse needlepoint pillow.
