Capturing the nostalgic essence of the Helios 44-2
Aperture Priority is inspired by the timeless craftsmanship of analog photography, with legends designed to mirror engraved lens markings. The modifier keys represent essential settings like aperture and ISO, while a custom Leica-inspired typeface brings precision and elegance to the design. Every detail pays tribute to the art of photography, capturing its legacy in a modern, tactile form.
Inspired by the recording buttons on vintage film cameras, this artisan keycap: REC is a collaboration with Salvun. Its two-piece design, with the button screwing onto the base, reflects the precision and timeless craftsmanship of analog photography.
