Hooke is a high-contrast condensed typeface designed to balance strength with elegance. Inspired by the functional beauty of hooks, it reflects the tension between fluidity and precision. Its sharp ink traps and even sharper terminals evoke the pointed edges of a hook’s barb, while the bars curve with a natural bend, capturing the dynamic motion of catching or pulling. Hooke’s structured yet expressive design makes it ideal for large sizes, where its refined details and striking contrast come to life with clarity and purpose.
