Rig Shaded is an award winning 3D type family with a geometric sans serif at its heart. As its name suggests, Rig is designed as a framework to support a range of striking 3D effects.
It has four versatile weights including a unique ‘zero’ weight. Each has two grades of distinctive halftone shading, Fine and Coarse, which emphasize Rig’s solid appearance.
Rig Shaded is available to use via Adobe Typekit and buy from MyFonts.
Rig developed from my quest to find ideal letter shapes for a shaded typeface while retaining their geometric principles and legibility. Each character has been designed to ensure maximum clarity and harmony when combined with 3D effects. The extrude and shaded styles have been handcrafted to produce a consistent weight and tone.
For that ‘Neo 80's’ Stranger Things / Drive feel, Rig Shaded's got you covered!
Rig's character set includes 230 glyphs, supporting 198 languages, including all Western, Central and South Eastern European languages.
Examples of the versatile typeface in use
Using Rig to create eye-catching chromatic effects is simple:
1. Set your type in one of Rig’s styles, as you would normally
2. Duplicate the type layer then change its style and color
3. Repeat for each font style and color desired
See the Specimen for additional examples and tips on using the typeface.
Rig Shaded won a Platinum Award in the Graphis Type Design Competition, 2018.
