Scatterplot is a variable slabserif made out of dots and recommended for animation, headlines, titles, posters and other display purposes. Its lighter weights also work nicely at text sizes, producing the effect of an old matrix printer. Scatterplot was studiously designed with an underlying geometric structure and dots arranged on a modular grid. The result is a variable font with a double axis: Weight and Random. It also comes as distinct static fonts with four preset weights (Light, Regular, Bold and Heavy) and four levels of randomness (Mild, Borderline, Wild and UltraWild).
The Weight axis is decisively brutalist with dots increasing in diameter – with no optical corrections. The Random axis spreads the dots randomly across the bounding box, so that the letters are perfectly legible at one end, while they become increasingly illegible in the opposite direction. There are also ‘full’ and ‘empty’ versions of the dots, which can be activated via Stylistic Sets.
All Scatterplot users can play with its virtually unpredictable letterforms’ potential and get all manner of unique compositions.
