Among the typefaces chosen for the launching of Proof of Words was Covenant. It is a reinterpretation of modern typefaces that explores the mechanization process on letter shapes. —This small article is aiming to explain the design process behind Covenant and to review its key features.

Before working on the Proof of Words foundry project with Léo, I had never given Licensing much thought. Why would I? During my studies, I knew that you had to buy the Fonts if you wanted to use them, it seemed logical. But I had never thought about it in depth, and it’s not something you hear much about in school. After graduating, I did internships and freelance work for several foundries, but the question never came up either, as they already had established practices. My role was to design and develop typefaces rather than to think about the Licensing system.
