“I was beginning to see the logic in the plan,” I said finally, as we stepped from the elevated walkway into the plaza. The streets, the buildings, the planted edges—all connected with a clarity that felt deliberate, almost inevitable. “You have studied the patterns of movement, haven’t you? You’ve calculated the radius so no one is more than fifteen minutes from what they need.”

“That is the principle,” she replied. “Accessibility, proximity, balance. A neighbourhood that can support itself without isolation.”

We paused at the centre of the square. Around us, blocks of housing stepped down into courtyards, children darting between the trees. Beyond, a tram curved silently past a community library, its façade open to the street. “What you say intrigues me,” I admitted. “I understand grids and networks, but this is something different. What does it feel like to live here?”

She smiled. “It is as though the city breathes with you. You don’t rush, you flow. Nothing is too far; nothing is disconnected. The streets are scaled for people, not cars. You move slowly, and yet you arrive quickly.”

We crossed into a shaded lane. Balconies spilled with planting overhead, and bicycles leaned neatly at the kerb. The rhythm of the blocks was consistent but never monotonous; slight shifts in height and material gave each turn its own character. “I see,” I said, “it is like walking through a sequence of rooms, each one opening gently into the next.”

“Exactly. But unlike a house, the doors are never closed.”

The afternoon light caught the paving, and the air felt alive. We passed markets, schools, small workshops, each folded carefully into the plan. There was no sense of sprawl; every building addressed the street, every street led somewhere.

Later, we climbed to the roof of a civic building that anchored the district. From here, the pattern unfolded: green corridors stitched together the housing clusters; tram lines ran like arteries to adjoining neighbourhoods; public squares punctuated the urban fabric. It was dense, but generous, an intricate order rather than a rigid one.

“There is structure,” she said quietly, “but it allows for change. Cities must adapt, or they fail. We try to design for resilience, for surprise.”

I watched as the last commuters filtered into the station below, the lights flickering on in apartments overhead. There was no single centre, no empty periphery. The city was made up of many centres, each complete in itself, each connected.

As night settled, I felt the subtle weight of the idea. The work of decades—Team 10’s diagrams, Cedric Price’s questions, the notion of proximity over scale—all distilled into a place you could cross on foot in minutes. A place where the measure of distance was not miles but moments.

We descended, back into the streets. The city was still awake, but unhurried. We walked, companions in a network designed to hold us together, and I realised: this was not just a plan, it was a way of living.

About

UT Clarke is a Grotesque typeface that balances functional clarity with subtle warmth. It references the dependable backbone of early 20th-century sans-serifs, with a particular nod to Franklin Gothic, but pares them back and rebalances familiar forms for contemporary use.

While Clarke retains the genre’s rational proportions and industrial tone, its softened detailing sets it apart. Rounded terminals, open apertures, and flattened curves contribute to a voice that feels confident without being overbearing. Horizontal joins on letters like ‘n’ and ‘m’ create a sense of structure, while characters like ‘g’ and ‘a’ introduce a humanist edge within a consistent system.

Available as a static family of 16 styles and as three variable fonts across weight and slant axes.
