A highly condensed, thin-stroked sans-serif designed for both text setting and titling, with stylistic alternates for key characters.
About
Despite extremely thin strokes, the design maintains a strong and dignified presence, making it suited to both body text and headline work at narrow column widths. Key characters including a, e, f, g, and y carry alternate glyphs accessible via the OpenType stylistic alternates feature, giving designers additional typographic options. The italic also includes alternates for g and y, extending the customisation further.
