Between rigid geometry and the most expressive calligraphy there are countless combinatory possibilities. Ingeo is just one of them. Starting from a geometric approach it shows, however, a clear willingness to accommodate in its structure the calligraphic traits of our alphabet.
In Ingeo geometry grows from the inside, meaning that all its counters are based on geometric shapes. Around them, contours are later defined. The solid mass resulting from that interaction is modulated in specific areas in a way that evokes the way a writing hand finishes a letter and starts the following one.
Ingeo seeks to accommodate calligraphic features in its geometric structure without any complexes, in the same way a computer engineer writes a song or a poet admires the orbits of planets and satellites.
In this vast and unmapped realm between seemingly opposing concepts is where Ingeo finds its play field. That interaction is pushed to its limits, especially in the stylistic sets, and the resulting letterforms are later confronted with typographical conventions to assess whether they survive.
Ingeo comes with 695 glyphs with support for more than 270 languages. Among these glyphs you can find 5 stylistic sets, 19 useful science-related icons as well as 7 different designs for ampersands.
