NEWELL / TYPEFACE
v0.1.1-ALPHA
v0.1.1-alpha  ·  an edition, not a release

Newell is a typeface that refuses curves. Three primitives — rail, diagonal, junction. Uppercase only. The S is Z's diagonal wearing S's name, on the record.

01

MONOLINE

Every stroke is 110 units wide. Every terminal is squared. One weight, one rhythm.

02

45° ONLY

Diagonals are exactly 45 degrees. The generator asserts it and refuses anything else.

03

PARAMETRIC

Glyphs are generated from declarative rules, not hand-drawn. The alphabet inherits one grammar.

Three primitives.
One alphabet.

Every Newell glyph is composed from the same vocabulary: a vertical rail, a horizontal rail, and a 45-degree diagonal. Squared terminals join them. There is nothing else.

The result reads as "engineered" rather than "drawn" — closer to a barcode or a circuit diagram than to a humanist serif.
