About
Designed by Anne Büttner and sold through Brownfox, Fonema spans Light to Bold in a clean, text-facing register suited to extended setting. The family covers 72 languages across Latin and Cyrillic scripts, making it a practical choice for multilingual publishing or editorial work. Its conceptual framing around phonemes and linguistic abstraction gives it a considered identity without overreaching in formal terms.
Classification
The specimen and thematic focus on phonetics suggest a text-oriented humanist sans; the four-weight range without condensed or italic variants points to a utility-focused, reading-oriented design.
