Ink traps are details in the character design of certain typefaces. They originated from the need to control ink overflow during printing, especially when using lower-quality paper or when printing on materials that are more absorbent. Nowadays, with advancements in technologies and materials used in printing, there is less need for ink traps to prevent detail loss due to ink bleeding; however, they have not disappeared from typeface design. In contemporary usage, instead of serving only as a technical adjustment, they often become a stylistic detail that adds character and recognisability to a particular typeface, especially when used at larger sizes. This paper provides an overview of various ways of designing ink traps. It also analyses examples of characteristic design details of letterforms in typefaces that use ink traps, ranging from those specifically designed for problematic printing conditions to those for which ink traps serve as a dominant stylistic characteristic. An example of typical letterforms of a typeface with ink traps has been designed; they are subsequently employed to redesign a prominent logo, illustrating the influence of ink traps on the visual expression of the brand’s typeface.
