OCCUPANT FONTS

Occupant Oldstyle
Occupant Oldstyle is a 21st century text face from Cyrus
Highsmith, assisted by June Shin. The rounded triangularendings are the result of a long fermentation process thatcombines ingredients from Japanese Mincho style typefaces,
rounded sans serifs, electronic music, and toys. Highsmith calls
them ‘child-safe serifs’.
