CB Dex is a warm and dependable monoline sans-serif typeface, designed to carry on the legacy of entrepreneurship in Anderson, South Carolina.
Derived from hand-painted signage in Anderson, South Carolina, CB Dex was handcrafted to prolong the story of Dexter Grocery Co. Wholesale, a former downtown grocery store that closed in 1990. After sitting vacant for 34 years, the building is now pending renovation for resale, risking historical aspects being erased.
CB Dex transformed the hand-rendered characters into digital forms to ensure the consistency of each structure, angle, and curve. CB Dex continues to honor its origins through its unique forms and consistently stable bases and heights while being versatile for future applications.
CB Dex has three weights and four styles for a total of ten variations in the family.
