Arpona Sans
A nine-weight sans-serif family that merges geometric construction with humanist legibility, inspired by Johnston and Gill's work for London Underground.
About
Arpona Sans draws its lineage from Edward Johnston and Eric Gill, combining the visual clarity of geometric sans with the functional warmth of humanist letterform construction and modernist proportioning. Nine weights from Thin to Black, each with corresponding italics, give it a broad range across editorial, branding, app and web work. Each style contains 588 glyphs with four figure sets and currency symbols, covering western, eastern and central European Latin languages.
Classification
Arpona Sans blends geometric sans aesthetics with humanist construction principles, drawing on the Johnston and Gill tradition while maintaining modernist proportions, placing it at the intersection of geometric and humanist sans-serif design.
