The New Black typeface was a school project where the assignment was to create our own typeface based on research where we chose and studied a typeface to our liking. I ran with Peter Biľak’s Irma, a versatile geometrical slab serif typeface. The working title became Coleman after my dear friend Ronnie "Nothing to it but to do it" Coleman. Mainly and only because the resemblance was undeniable, both bold heavyweighters.
The New Black is a capital only slab in the typeface.
