F37 Foundry · Rick Banks
An experimental sans where every letter is built on a single horizontal line, with fifteen weights and Cyrillic, Greek and Arabic cuts.
About
F37 Lineca is one of F37's signature concept families, a sans where a straight horizontal line runs through every letterform, including the traditionally round ones. The foundry quote a Mondrian-style note about horizontal and vertical lines built with awareness and brought to harmony and rhythm. Thirty Latin styles run from Hair10 through Black with matching italics, and Lineca extends to Cyrillic, Greek and Arabic at the same depth, so it can carry an editorial or identity system with a strong, repeatable graphic device. F37 cite uses by Local, Forum, Literaturhaus and Omidyar Network.
