Luminary Typeface

The Luminary typeface is modeled after the way constellations are displayed on sky maps. The hallow dots and solid lines represent the star constellations’ traditional rendering.

Over the centuries, stories have been linked to the constellations and mythical properties have been applied to the stars. Astrologers look to the sky for glimpses into the future, while astronomers consult the stars to orient their projects and gain directional bearings. Regardless of the user’s intent, folkoric or scientific, constellations are luminary – guiding lights.
