Dejecta is part of a larger series of typefaces trials that question both the design but also function on typography in our communication. In a contempory world that is seeing a rise in popular movements, we are also seeing a return to the grassroot principle of handcrafted signs and slogans, made in a moment of emotion and drive. With this typeface, we have questioned wheather as type designers, we can make a design tool that uses this spontaneous, if somewhat unstructured, form of communication. Can typography, which is built on the principle of a repeating grid of letterforms, ever be a medium that is fluid and expressive, should it even aim to be?

This font uses a series of Opentype features, from standard ligatures to more complex contextual substitutions. Dejecta was made as a typeface that can be played with, that asks that the designer experiments with the various letterforms to find the best combination and style.
