STILETO

Typography | Typeface Design

Stileto is a typeface inspired by the bold self-expression of the high heel. Its anatomy is based on the counter forms of a high heel. The typeface webpage reflects the striking nature that the item and typeface have to offer.

Design process

Visual Research

To design the typeface, the main focus was breaking down the high heel, looking at the form of the object, the emotions, and the context that is associated with the object.

Experimentation With Form

After research, the next phase is experimentation based on personal interpretation. What tone and aesthetic does the object create?

Refinement

What Works? What Doesn't?

Next is technical and aesthetic refinement. This step involves making decisions
such as establishing consistency, kerning, leading, and refining form.
