About
An industrial grotesque sans by Ryan Williamson and Rick Banks, designed as half of a sans and serif pair sharing the same underlying skeleton. Single weight across eight widths, from airy Expanded through Regular and Narrow to a migraine-inducing Ultra Compressed. Low stroke contrast and tight apertures suit bold, graphic uses; the expanded width shouts, the regular sits sensibly, and the narrower widths handle punchy headlines in tight measures. Small caps, ligatures and stylistic alternates included. Pairs interchangeably with F37 Elastica Serif.
