About
Designed by Briton Smith and released through Family Type in 2018, Athletics is a geometric sans available in 14 styles across multiple weights. The character set covers an unusually wide range of Latin-based languages alongside Greek, with OpenType features including stylistic sets, fractions, superscripts, subscripts, and tabular figures. Its clean construction and measured proportions suit display use, editorial work, and identity applications where a structured, neutral sans is needed.
Classification
Athletics presents clean, constructed letterforms with geometric proportions and open apertures, consistent with the geometric sans tradition. The specimen and glyph samples suggest a rational, structured design without humanist warmth.
