The Shad is the almost illegible cousin of the Chiq. 


As the name suggests — it consists of the shadows of the letters.

And the bolder the font style, the deeper it is. The “Light” only has a thin shadow, while the “Black” casts a very deep, broad shadow.


Unlike Chiq, Shad is only available as “static” fonts (individual font files for each variant). Due to the different geometry of the shadows of different depths, a variable font is unfortunately not technically feasible.


Shad only consists of the letter shadows, the corresponding letter remains transparent, i.e. without filling. The metrics (spacing and character widths) correspond to those of Chiq, so that both fonts can be placed congruently on top of each other.

When you combine and play with the two fonts, very attractive effects quickly emerge. Shad brings a bit of 3D into typography.
