Sunbather is a ‘beyond high contrast’ typeface originally designed for the genre defying / career defining 2013 @deafheavenband album.
Referencing early 20th century experiments by Swiss typographer Jan Tschichold, Sunbather challenges your eye to infer what isn’t there. Sinewy curves meet sharp serifs to entrance the viewer’s gaze.
The regular weight stays true to the original font, while an added lowercase, diacritics, and stylistic alternates allow you to change terminal shapes or add in serifs that were purposefully omitted in the original.
Two new masters were drawn and interpolated from, a delicate ‘thin’ and a newly redrawn sturdy ‘black’ comprising a range of seven weights.
Thank you to @morningtype and @manictype for their production and engineering helping pull this project together into a usable form for the masses.
Available now alongside deluxe vinyl reissue at deathwishinc.com
