Sawton specimen from atipo foundry

A three-flavour geometric sans system from atipo, offered as Circular, Industrial and Bauhaus cuts across five weights.

About

Sawton is a geometric sans-serif system from atipo foundry built around three sibling cuts. Sawton Circular leans on perfectly circular bowls in the Futura and Avenir tradition, Sawton Industrial squares those forms off for a more mechanical reading, and Sawton Bauhaus pushes the construction toward early twentieth-century geometric experiments. Each subfamily runs from Thin to Bold across five weights with shared metrics, so designers can swap between cuts within a single layout for headline texture. Best used for branding, posters and editorial display where geometric character is doing the talking.

Classification

A geometric sans system in three flavours, Circular, Industrial and Bauhaus, each running from Thin to Bold. The three subfamilies share metrics so they can be mixed across a single layout.
