Typeface of the Month: South East

This month’s Typeface of the Month: South East by Copenhagen based type foundry Playtype.

South East is a sans serif type family loosely inspired by the shapes and compositions seen in Hangul, the Korean alphabet. The typeface includes a wide range of stylistic sets, allowing the user to choose between three different center heights and a good number of alternate letter shapes. When used in large sizes South East will show its display qualities while still performing perfectly as a text typeface in smaller sizes, making it a super versatile type family. It’s a type with many faces and many different expressions.

South East is available in nine weights across three widths—Condensed, Normal, Expanded—which makes it a family of 54 styles including corresponding Italics. The typeface covers Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic scripts, and more than 220 languages.
