Mechaknit is a variable display typeface inspired by the needles of domestic knitting machines. These machines were a common household item in the 1960s, and were almost entirely mechanical, allowing home knitters to create various garments faster and easier than by hand.
With its hooks and serifs, Mechaknit is a tribute to these needles, their shape, and the way they are aligned within the machine.
Each letter is joined to the next one by its hook, knitting the words together.
