AR FlyingEaves

Design Concept

The fine details of traditional buildings still amaze us especially their sloping roofs and curved eaves even in an age of modern skyscrapers.

"Flying eaves," a special design of traditional roof corners, not only help with water drainage and letting in light, but also create beautiful wing-like shapes with decorated edges and perfect balance.

Inspired by these traditional "roof ridges and flying eaves," AR FlyingEaves font brings together the same sense of stability and balance in its design.
