Alliance: A Neo-Grotesque From Degarism Studio
Deni Anggara is a graphic designer who works primarily in art direction, visual research, and type design. Over the years, his projects have included branding and visual identity, commercial typography, content design, and custom type design.
Deni established his own foundry, Degarism Studio, in 2016. Based in Indonesia, Degarism Studio is the outlet through which Deni releases his own type designs and also works on bespoke design projects for private clientele.
Having worked in graphic design for some time, Deni has an innate understanding of the importance of good type design and he’s put a great deal of research into his own craft. When it comes to type design, Deni begins on the concept first, understanding each character and its architecture to ensure he’s completely happy with the design plan.
From there, he works in both FontLab Studio and Glyphs to perfect his digitized fonts. Deni pays special attention to every detail, putting an emphasis on perfection before his work ever hits the retail market. As a graphic designer himself, high functionality is of special importance, so he works diligently to ensure that his type designs provide ample multilingual support and numerous OpenType features, giving designers everything they need in their workflow.
For Degarism Studio, collaboration and communication are key components of a successful project. Teamwork plays an important role in Deni’s own creative process because he wants to enjoy his work while also making the process enjoyable for his clients at the same time.
Deni’s work tends to favor clean, contemporary type designs that suit a variety of project types. One of his more recent releases through YouWorkForThem is Alliance, a smartly-designed neo-grotesk sans serif with a corporate architecture.
Alliance is a neutral type design that is strong and authoritative without coming across aggressively. It takes its inspiration from Industrial-era type designs from the late 1800s, following the traditional design aesthetics of grotesk typefaces. Its mono linear strokes make it an instant modern classic; Alliance is a fresh take on a traditional design style – one that never falls out of favor.
Alliance is available in weights that range from Light to Black, with corresponding italics for each, for a total of 28 fonts. This type design is ideal for a wide variety of design projects including headlines, editorials, body copy, publishing, advertising, product packaging, logos, letterhead, corporate communications, white papers, presentations, infographics, website designs and mobile applications. The range of weights also makes it an excellent choice for identity and branding projects that require design cohesion across multiple media types.
Alliance is loaded with additional features that include case sensitive forms, numerators, denominators, fractions, discretionary ligatures, standard ligatures, subscript, superscript, tabular figures, and stylistic alternates for added flexibility. Its multilingual support is extensive, too, covering Basic Latin, Western European, Euro, Catalan, Baltic, Turkish, Central European, Romanian, and Pan African Latin for global accessibility.
