This monospace font is to display braille in an original although in a rather "steganographic" way.

Its glyphs are designed from a flat hexagon which can be read as 3 rows of 2 vertices (i.e. regular braille glyph grid). The initial design is illustrated by glyph 'ç' (no dot) and 'û' (6 dots) as illustrated by poster 5.

HexBraille glyphs are connected to each other, so there are 6 connections for each (2 on left/right and 4 on top/bottom). A text using this font will display a lattice, not the honeycomb but instead it will show various patterns and the whole looks similar to a PCB.

In the interline squares are frequent and diagonally there are unclosed "irregular convex octagons". For esthetical reasons, squares were favored over octagons.

Note 1: It's also possible to frame the text with 2 sets of border glyphs: octagonal (€°£µ§¥~¢) and rectangular (èéêïîàâä), as illustrated by poster 2.

Note 2: For best esthetical result (especially when using frame glyphs) with Microsoft Word, use CTRL+8 to display Pilcrow (¶) and Non Breaking Space glyphs.

The typeface Typist originated during an extensive research on the origin and development of typewriter typestyles. The first commercially manufactured typewriter came on the market in 1878 by Remington. The typestyles on these machines were only possible in capitals, the combination of capitals and lowercase came available around the end of the nineteenth century. Apart from a few exceptions, most typestyles had a fixed letter width and a more or less unambiguous design that resembled a thread-like structure. A lot of this mechanical structure was due to the method the typestyles were produced. Looking at type-specimens for print before the first typewriters were good enough to came on the market we can see that in 1853 and in 1882 Bruce’s Type Foundry already had printing type that had a structure of the typewriter typestyles. Of course printing types were proportional designed as typewriter typestyles had a fixed width. So it is possible that except from the method of production for typewriter typestyles, the design of printing types were copied. In the design of the Typist, the purpose was – next to the monospace feature – to include some of the features of the early typewriter typestyles. Features such as the ball terminals and the remarkable design of the letter Q. This new typeface lacks the mechanical and cold look of the early typewriter typestyles. The Typist comes in six weights with matching italics in two versions. One that resembled the early typewriter typestyles (Typist Slab) and a version designed with coding programmers in mind (Typist Code).
