Apoc is a typeface family revolving around 26 fonts + Variable.

The design process started with the finding of a lettrage (APOCALYPSE; uppercases only) made for a book about the Book of Revelations. Something refreshingly new in the way the counter-forms were displayed made us want to dig deeper. Based on the few characters we had originally, Apoc was born: with agressive serifs, sharp as if there were cut by a knife.

Apoc, the battle between Light & Dark.

“As I stood upon the
sand of the sea…”

While proofing the font - originally meant for a display usage - we became intriqued by the optical gray obtained when it was used on plain text. Apoc strangely brings up the page’s lightness forward. Enlightening layouts, letting the light come through. A sans serif version was also added later for that purpose. Below some enlightening use of Apoc :

Font Pairing

Being able to provide great tools for designers to work with is one of the foundry’s core of action. It was a pretty straightforward decision to answer what seemed to be their users demands for a sans typeface. One which would be more reader-friendly — and thus being able to be paired with their other fonts.
