Particular

Particular is a text face inspired by Douglas Adams’ Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Influenced by stocky serifs like Clarendon, Melior and Gimlet, 
Particular merges mechanical geometry with a comedic bounciness to match the sci-fi humor of the book.

One of its signature features, a vertical serif with a curve interrupted by a sharp right angle, unifies the terminals of letters like r, g and f.
