Description

Simpleton is a display typeface that is a light-hearted response to the concept of simplicity in design.

As Simpleton was only intended as display face we freely admit it does not work for long texts. To be quite frank anything over about 15-20 words is a challenge. But that’s not the point of Simpleton. Simpleton is a piece of fun, so enjoy it for what it is.

The letterforms were first used for Ligature Journal issue five, our issue on the theme of, you guessed it, simplicity. Emily Ouch, one of the designers of issue five, created the basic forms. We liked what she had done so much that Tiliqua Press co-owner, Felix Oppen, expanded the character/glyph set into a fully workable typeface. There is only one weight, Simpleton Regular and it is only available in .OTF file format.
