We sat down with Max and talked about his debut release, Gamuth.
Max Esnée is a type designer and web developer who is looking forward to a busy and ambitious 2023 ahead. His first font, the reverse contrast Savate, was released in 2016, and Max has been building his repertoire ever since. Inspired by his work in web design and how online newspapers utilize typography, Max’s newest type family Gamuth, released with Production Type, is designed “to provide a comprehensive range of typefaces for the requirements of online news media” and is one of four in-progress fonts Max is working on with Production Type. Max was kind enough to share his excitement about his upcoming Gamuth release, his journey towards becoming a type designer, and how he learned to appreciate the art of kerning.
“I’d really like to design something that lasts.”
