Design by Massimiliano Audretsch
Spacing and Kerning by Igino Marini
G2 Hyper was first developed for the 2026 Circulating Copies exhibition by Stiftung IMAI – Inter Media Art Institute. It emerged from the curatorial intention to create a typeface that prioritizes clarity and accessibility in contemporary reading environments. Designed in the styles Visible and Visible Slanted, it was conceived as a hyperlegible font with distinctly differentiated letterforms, aiming to reduce ambiguity and enhance recognition across a wide range of contexts.
The design draws on principles established by the Braille Institute, translating their guidelines into a contemporary typographic language. Strong distinctions are made between characters that are otherwise easily confused, such as O, 0 and Q, as well as p and q or I, l and i. Subtle shifts in proportion, open apertures and carefully articulated details contribute to improved readability.
