Blender
Binnenland · Nik Thoenen · 2003
A modular geometric sans built on a strict construction grid, synthesised from two font sketches including a CAD type source and a typeface by Norm.
About
Designed by Nik Thoenen in 2003 and substantially revised in 2017, Blender assembles letterforms from cut segments of hybrid source material, rearranged over a geometric grid. The result sits somewhere between technical rigour and restrained softness, with five weights from Thin to Strong each accompanied by italics. Language coverage extends to Latin Extended, Cyrillic and Greek, and OpenType features include tabular figures, fractions, superiors and inferiors.
Classification
Blender is built on a strict construction grid using modular, segmented letterforms synthesised from geometric and CAD-derived sources, placing it firmly in the geometric sans tradition with a technical edge.
