Concept

Pebble is an experimental display typeface that blends structured elegance with organic, handcrafted quirks. Inspired loosely by the sharp verticality of blackletter and the high-contrast refinement of Didone typefaces, Pebble reinterprets traditional forms with a modern, sculptural twist.

Its name reflects the design’s essence: much like a pebble shaped by time and nature, the letterforms combine firmness with soft, rounded gestures and asymmetrical details. Sharp terminals and exaggerated tapers give the typeface a chiselled, stone-cut quality, while subtle curves and irregularities introduce warmth and individuality.

Creative Process

Inspired by the letter 'r' of the Joanna typeface, I started a typographic experiment and made many iterations 
of the letter 'r'.

Moved on to the letter 's' of Joanna because 'r' was not working out.

The iteration I went ahead with to create my own typeface.
