The Priori family was originally conceived as a series of typefaces which shared a common core character shape but had different styles. Priori Acute is a tangential implementation of that. Drawing heavily on the work of M.C. Escher, Priori Acute contains incongruous perspectives and twisting shapes that fold into themselves tricking the eye. At first glance and at small sizes the effect is subtle and the original letter forms themselves remain intact but when blown up, the individual characters constantly shift and confuse in a delightfully charming way. The font works best for initial caps, short headlines and logos.
