MARIANTONIA GOMEZ-BOTERO

Probie

Digital Typeface

 

A display and headline font characterized by its narrow capitals, its boldness, and its high contrast of thicks and thins.

 

This typeface was inspired by a sign seen on the TV show "NCIS." And even when
in the show is not used that often,
I wanted this typeface to depict the
tone of the show: Dramatic yet playful.

 

The typeface started from four uppercase letters (N, C, I, and S) and then the rest was created based on those characters.

 

Done under the advisement of typeface designer Andy Clymer

Initial sketches for the character set

The original four characters from the TV show NCIS, where I based the whole character set from.
