Slip, A Typeface

Slip is a typeface born from clay—each letterform hand-sculpted to capture the organic textures, imperfections, and individuality that come from working with your hands. This project lives across multiple mediums: the original clay forms, an interactive digital font, and printed posters. Together, these elements create a multi-sensory experience that invites you to touch, type, and visually explore the work from different perspectives. Inspired by my love for craft and a DIY approach, Slip pushes against the traditional, pixel-perfect standards of type design. As a graphic designer, I often find myself obsessing over precision—alignments, anchor points, and optical corrections. Slip became a necessary rebellion. I traded the keyboard and mouse for clay, allowing natural movement and pressure to shape each character. The result embraces imperfection, texture, and contrast. Slip includes a full set of uppercase letters, numbers, and symbols. It’s currently available in two font families: Slip Solid and Slip Rough. These variations offer flexibility in use—whether paired together or used separately—adding a custom, tactile quality to digital design work. Slip leaves room for the unexpected—proof that a little imperfection goes a long way.
