Laocoön and His Sons
Pliny the Elder, 1506
Metamorphic Marbles
A lively companion with a grounded presence on the page, Oktika offers disciplined elegance shaped by its carved clarity. Drawing from classical broad nib calligraphy and the precision of stone carving, it distills their inherent beauty into a contemporary design that carries warmth in all its sharpness. These qualities emerged during a thorough exploration of tools and materiality, taking form in chiselled serifs, diamond-shaped punctuation, and sharply cut counters of a and n. Across its range from Regular to Black, with matching italics, Oktika remains a dependable companion for text setting and extended reading.
Oktika was released by Niklas Herrmann in 2025.
