The concept of Occupant Fonts’ foundry website is that it can be occupied by the user, who can use the EDIT MODE feature to edit not only the content but also the typographic settings of nearly everything on the website, allowing unexpected combinations of typefaces to be tested together. The website doubles as a type tester and a publishing platform.
