About
Developed over five years by Alex Dujet, the family sits between two modernist traditions: the geometric forms of the Bauhaus and the rational precision of Swiss typography from the 1960s. Thirteen stylistic sets offer alternates including a schoolbook 'a', angular 'G', sweeping 'y' and rounded punctuation, letting designers tune the typeface between clean neutrality and more distinctive graphic positioning. The 16-style family covers broad Latin Extended coverage including Vietnamese and Chinese Pinyin, with full italic cuts across all eight weights.
Classification
Draws explicitly on Bauhaus geometric principles and 1960s Swiss modernism, placing it firmly in the geometric grotesque tradition with extensive OpenType alternates that allow it to shift between neutral and more assertive registers.
