Ivar began with the idea of creating a serif companion for Siri. During its development, it became apparent that typographic siblings don’t necessarily need to have a uniform design. After three years of drawing and perfecting the letterforms, the only shared characteristics that remain are the shapes of the terminals.

The road to making a typeface is often forked, where two clear paths lead to two different results. Mikro is that diverging path. Where Trim is cut from a grotesque, Mikro takes on the geometric sans. Where Trim places letters squarely in a pixel-grid, Mikro steps out of bounds when seen fit.
