design information
Tactical is nothing more than a testosterone-laced typeface. Rigid, mechanical and unforgiving. Originally conceived in 2007 while I was working through the early sketches of Ginza, Tactical features hard 45-degree angles and the presence of a curve for curve's sake is just not there. Complementing the original is a Stencil variant (inspired by the military, marathon video game, explosion-influenced name) and matching Obliques—altogether creating a sharply coordinating family.


The most fun came from the construction of the stencil variants. This near simple methodology produced the two accompanying styles and a wealth of possibilities (and fun).
