Triplex is Licko's first sans-serif text design. It evolved from her work with geometric typefaces; traces of her earlier Citizen design are visible in Triplex.

"Typefaces are not intrinsically legible; rather, it is the reader's familiarity with faces that accounts for their legibility. Studies have shown that readers read best what they read most. Legibility is also a dynamic process, as readers' habits are ever changing. It seems curious that blackletter type styles which we find illegible today were actually preferred over more humanistic designs during the 14th and 15th centuries. Similarly, type styles which we perceive as illegible today may well become tomorrow's classic choices."
