The Anatomy of a Typeface
By FontSide · June 2026
Every typeface is a system of decisions — about stroke contrast, x-height, spacing, and rhythm. The best ones feel invisible: you stop seeing the letters and start hearing the voice behind them. That transparency is the hardest thing to design.
A high x-height opens up the counters and makes small text breathe. Tight tracking pulls a headline together; loose tracking gives a caption room to exhale. None of these choices are accidents — they are arguments about how reading should feel.

/* Please select at least one weight and style */ Background & Story
Sulphur Point is a geometric sans serif typeface, with low contrast stems, high x-height, restrained ascenders and descenders and minimal optical adjustments away from pure geometric form. Sulphur Point is intended for both display and copy use.
The typeface is the result of an exploration of theories of the political production of space as manifested in the port and recreational marine facilities of Sulphur Point in Tauranga, New Zealand.
The Sulphur Point project is led by Dale Sattler, a type designer based in New Zealand. To contribute, see github.com/noponies/sulphur-point
