In case you weren't aware, our logo here at The Verge is partly influenced by the Penrose triangle, an "impossible" design that originated in the artwork of M.C. Escher and Oscar Reutersvärd. Later, mathematician Roger Penrose brought it to prominence, summing up the geometric work as "impossibility in its purest form." So when we came across a new typeface from Martzi Hegedűs that applies the same concept to text, it seemed appropriate to share. The font, named Frustro, takes the top left and bottom right portion of each character from a 3D typeface and combines them into an equally impossible result that seems to be facing two different directions.
