SUBJECT specimen from A2-Type

A geometric sans drawn from hand-carved stone lettering found in the French mountains, recast as a contemporary grotesque with subtle humanist detail.

About

Taking its cue from carved mountain stonework rather than the drawing board, SUBJECT sits somewhere between geometric precision and the warmth of a hand-cut letter. Six weights run from Light to Black with no italics, giving it a restrained palette suited to identity and editorial use. The unusual source material lends it details that distinguish it from standard geometric grotesques without making it eccentric.

Classification

Described as a geometric sans with grotesque qualities, drawing on hand-carved stone lettering for its source material while presenting a contemporary, slightly humanised form.
