Macula is an impossible typeface. Jacques Le Bailly borrowed from Oscar Reutersvärd’s optical illusion the Penrose triangle and the disorienting perspectives in M.C. Escher’s iconic art to create astonishing three-dimensional letterforms that cannot physically exist in the real world. Contextual alternates flip the viewpoint from one character to the next for a more convincing effect. The typeface offers component styles that can be layered as polychromatic display settings.
