About

Exploring Build's Design

Daniele Capelli

Sans Serif

Open Source

Build typeface delivers bold, condensed grotesk forms through strong, contemporary construction suited to impactful display applications. Daniele Capelli's design creates commanding presence for assertive branding, bold editorial statements, and architectural contexts. The condensed bold construction projects visual strength and authority. Build's strong aesthetic appeals to construction, manufacturing, and design-forward organizations. Display sizes showcase confident proportions. Pair with a lighter text face for body copy beneath commanding headlines.

Build comes from the work of Daniele Capelli. The typeface brings careful attention to typographic detail, visible in its letterform construction and optical balance.

As a Sans Serif typeface in the Vox-ATypI Lineal classification, Build features no serif extensions on stroke terminals and stroke contrast ranging from monolinear to subtly modulated. These optical characteristics make it well-suited for user interface text and navigation elements.

Build is available in a single weight, offering focused typographic consistency across digital and print workflows, with 4 curated font pairings available. Standard Latin character coverage serves the majority of Western typographic workflows.
