Ogg Text is the complementary text face of Ogg, the seminal display serif by Lucas Sharp inspired by the hand lettering of 20th century book designer and calligrapher Oscar Ogg. Ogg Text infuses the signature calligraphic styling of its predecessor with new and old transitional and oldstyle text face models. Signature moves found throughout Ogg’s calligraphic works were explored, exaggerated, and refined in the high contrast design space of Ogg. The original lettering samples are a combination of calligraphic stroke, contour drawing, and white-out (reduction). This combination of calligraphic and constructed forms became the perfect jumping off point for typographic exploration.
