Teip

Teip is a layerable geometric typeface system.

Teip developed as a typographic exploration of overlapping tape where an over/under, foreground/background interplay would be a stylistic motif throughout. For the most part, the uppercase characters have vertical stress in the foreground, while lowercase has the horizontal stressed in the foreground. Because this is a unicase typeface, upper and lower case glyphs can be mixed for a more random feel in the shape of individual words and the flow of sentences.

In Teip, glyph widths and kerning are the same across all styles and weights. This opens up the ability to easily layer one style on top of another to create a large number of color and stylistic combinations.
