Otique, a typeface inspired by vintage newspaper and book headlines, blends historical charm with modern functionality. Drawing from translation calligraphic modules and Dwiggins' M-formula, it incorporates intentional irregularities and indecisive serifs that blend wedge and bracketed styles. While aiming to balance readability with distinctive character, Otique's effectiveness as a text typeface remains to be proven. Its use of Dwiggins' curve-simulating technique and calligraphic influences places it within a tradition of organic type design, yet poses challenges in maintaining legibility for extended reading. As development continues, Otique's ability to navigate the line between unique design and practical functionality across various typographic contexts will be key to its success. The typeface was initially developed as part of the Type Design Asia course under the guidance of instructor Mark De Winne.
