Specifically, Mondrian’s famous painting, “Composition with Red, Blue and Yellow,” from his de stijl period during the1930s. The font letters mimic the painter’s cubism style with blocks of bold color outlined by clearly defined lines.

In addition to the reference to modern art, the script style connects the lines creating combinations of shapes and blocks of color for each letter, word or phrase resembling different objects and images found in common life such as buildings, automobiles, boats, furnishings, etc.

The cubist-inspired font is in OpenType-SVG format, allowing it to be used in multiple colors, gradients and layers for modern applications.
