ES Peak
Extraset · Xavier Erni · 2013
A Swiss humanist sans by Xavier Erni that fuses geometric construction with calligraphic curves and sharp, pointed terminals across eight weights.
About
Initiated in 2013, the family spans Thin to Extrabold with matching italics, and a broad set of alternative glyphs allows designers to shift the aesthetic towards either geometry or calligraphy. A companion subfamily, Peak Rounded, trades the sharp details for softer, more organic forms. The typeface is intended to perform at text sizes on screen and in print while retaining a distinct character through its pointed detailing.
Classification
Described explicitly as a humanist typeface with a linear construction, blending geometric and calligraphic curves; sharp, pointed terminals distinguish it from conventional grotesque or geometric models.
