A squared geometric sans with deep ink traps and 123 ligatures, built around a sci-fi aesthetic of VHS tapes, hoverbikes and retro-futurist interfaces.
About
Skanner's letterforms follow a strict geometric logic: squared bowls allow barcode-tight tracking, while horizontal terminals create natural conditions for an unusually large ligature set of 123 pairs. Deep ink traps introduce a subtle warmth that keeps the design from feeling purely mechanical. The foundry cites Eurostile as the obvious reference point, though Skanner brings a more rigorous, constructed design language of its own.
Classification
Skanner is a geometric sans with squared-off bowls, horizontal terminals and a constructed design language evoking sci-fi user interfaces; its display-oriented character count, 123 ligatures and strong stylistic personality place it firmly in the display category.
