Doctrine Sans
A neo-grotesque sans in five weights with true italics, drawing on mid-century models while incorporating humanist and geometric alternate characters.
About
Developed from the unexpected starting point of North Korean airline livery, Doctrine Sans brings a contemporary warmth to the neo-grotesque tradition. Lighter weights carry a rounded, composed character, while heavier cuts rely on a large x-height, low contrast and squarer forms to deliver something more assertive. True italics across all five weights, a range of ligatures and multiple figure styles mark it out from the standard oblique-only neo-grotesque template.
Classification
The typeface is explicitly described as drawing from classic mid-century neo-grotesques, with a large x-height, low contrast and squarer heavier weights, while incorporating humanist and geometric alternate characters.
