Polarized

Polarized typeface specimen.

I released Polarized on May 20, 2022. The design was based on the segmented lettering of LCD displays, but I replaced the blunt ends of traditional segmented strokes with pointed terminals. This gave the typeface a sharper, more crystalline look, while still keeping the underlying modular construction. The name referred to polarized light filters, tying the design back to the world of optics and technology.

Polarized was issued as a paid family of five weights, each with obliques, included from the start. It was designed for both display and text use, with enough weights and spacing to function in extended settings while still retaining its segmented character. There have been no updates since the original release.

I have not seen Polarized used in notable projects, but it remains in my catalog as a modular segmented design with an emphasis on angular precision.
