A two-family humanist sans by Johannes Breyer: an elegant text sans plus Oracle Triple, a third-unit grid experiment in monospaced rhythm.
About
A two-family humanist sans by Dinamo's Johannes Breyer with Andree Paat, Thy Ha, Chi-Long Trieu and Daria Cohen. Standard Oracle is an elegant sans serif with friendly, smooth contours and subtle contrast, available in nine weights with italics and a deep set of stylistic alternates. Oracle Triple takes the logic of monospaced letterforms to an extreme, segmenting the bounding box into thirds with different characters taking different numbers of units. Sits well across identity, exhibition and editorial work that wants a calm humanist sans plus a more eccentric monospaced companion.
Classification
Dinamo describes Oracle as two families that began in the same place but wandered in different directions: an elegant sans serif with friendly, smooth contours and subtle contrast, and Oracle Triple, a strict-rhythm exploration that segments the bounding box into thirds with characters taking different numbers of units.
