About this typeface:

Several years ago I was faced with a project that required
very small type to be used in a directory. In general,
there was a need for a lot of .fine print.. Faced with
this, all of the tests I was making with existing faces was
producing to much bleed of the individual glyphs ...
Cynapse was born.

It evolved into this pseudo-techy looking type that
standardized and glorified the ink trap (the small, tiny
allowances of white space that reduces the amount of ink
hitting the page,and in effect, reducing the appearance of
bleed). The results was promising. Last year, the family
was expanded to include Small Caps and a revised Italics.
