  • Farop (short for Fanning a Ream of Paper) is an inline display type family that employs non-rhythmic stroke widths, layered overlays, and unconventional alignments to create a distinctive multi-lined aesthetic. It deliberately breaks away from traditional typographic conventions by disregarding standard baselines in favour of chunky, brutalist letterforms and self-determined vertical positioning.

    Farop Freestyle (shown here) is composed of eight coloured layers, each manipulating the glyphs with differently coloured stripes. It serves as a visual reference for the wide range of styles that can be achieved with the Farop family, while also functioning as a ready-to-use colour font for bold, maximalist inline typography.

    The complete Farop type family, including five individual weights (Farop 1 to 5), Farop Freestyle, and Farop Stack (the original monochromatic gradient variant), is available to download for free at fauxicing.com.

A lovely experiment! A little hard to read in some places, (the “Y” in particular is quite confusing) but with such a small grid, it’s more than forgivable. Fun samples, too.

@Gr4ftY: Thanks! I originally made this coloured font in order to show the different variation of styles one can use Farop to do. The release of it as a standalone font is just a bonus. ;). I did intend for the typeface to suffer to a degree in terms of legibility in exchange for a whacky brutalist look.
