About Appalachia Font Family


Appalachia was inspired by several type families designed during the Weimar Republic, a period of social and intellectual prosperity immediately preceding the rise of fascism in Prewar Germany.

Looking at the fonts that served as inspiration, we noticed a great deal of them had features that would more or less disqualify them from practical use in a modern setting.

Attributes like low x-heights, inconsistently cut terminals, and odd ratios were all present. Yet all these fonts had a certain zhuzh that fascinated us to the extent of attempting to replicate them in a more practical manner.

In a more technical sense, Appalachia is a low-contrast, geometric, sans-serif typeface. And when we say low-contrast, we meant it... we tried for months to get it to a perfect 1:1 contrast ratio but are pretty sure that's an impossible feat.

About Sehr Type

Sehr Type was founded in the Summer of 2022 by Haden Bryce Wade amidst a personal journey through severe burnout. Seeking solace and revival through various creative pursuits such as pottery, watercolor, and writing, Bryce eventually discovered a passion for type design. After a six-month intensive into the rich history of typography, Bryce channeled this newfound knowledge and enthusiasm into the creation of Sehr Type's debut typeface, Appalachia. This journey not only marked the beginning of Sehr Type but also established its foundation in resilience, creativity, and a deep appreciation for the art of typography. Sehr Type remains committed to an ever-evolving understanding of contemporary typography trends, while also honoring the timeless traditions that have shaped the field. The foundry's ethos is built on a balance of continuous learning and historical awareness, ensuring that each typeface created is both innovative and grounded in typographic heritage. By blending modern design sensibilities with a profound respect for typographic history, Sehr Type aims to produce fonts that resonate with both current and future generations of designers.
