About
A condensed sans by Erik van Blokland, drawn for interface design without an overtly neutral personality. Four weights each have three grades on the same width, so text can change weight on rollover without disrupting the layout. Although built with screens and rollovers in mind, it holds up on posters as well as in browsers and phone interfaces, with a casual personality and quirky shapes that give it more warmth than most straight-sided condensed sans.
