[index] [ designer ] Cethubala: the birth of magic words

Cethubala typeface was born of an idea: the Rebirth of symbolism through writing.
All alphabeths are mainly symbolic. They represent nothing more than the particles of words, and by forming words, verbal logic arises.
Typefaces have tried to become more and more legible in order to not interfer with the meaning of words.
Cethubala is an hard-to-read alphabeth, that presents itself as the symbolic writing. Words have a textured aspect, almost with a ritualized form. "Only to write magic words" as in other times letters did.
