Matter
Displaay Type Foundry · Martin Vacha · 2016
A warm grotesque by Martin Vacha drawn from 2015 onward, carrying a four-axis variable system with Weight, x-height, Mono and Slant.
About
A grotesque sans-serif by Martin Vacha first sketched in June 2015 and released in August 2016. The retail family runs to 48 weights and 96 styles, with a variable font on four axes: Weight, x-height, Mono and Slant. Lively forms and open terminals give it a subtly warm character, and the vertical terminals carry a slight angle. The mono axis lets the same skeleton operate as proportional or monospaced, useful for editorial and product systems that share a single voice.
Classification
Displaay describes Matter as a grotesque with a subtle, warm touch from its lively forms and open terminals. Even the vertical terminals carry a slight angle. The system extends into a variable cut with Weight, x-height, Mono and Slant axes.
