Socotra is a typeface based on the topography of the island Socotra off the South East coast of Yemen. The typeface is rigid in structure to reflect the rocky landscape of Socotra. There are strong contrasts in the letters that illustrate the harsh formations of the landscape in relation to the delicate and rare flora and fauna that can be found on the island. The typeface consists of both uppercase and lowercase characters as well as a set of punctuation and ligatures.
