A high-contrast geometric sans from Indian Type Foundry with over three dozen decorative uppercase ligatures, designed for headlines and masthead work.
About
Stroke contrast increases with each weight as the thin strokes remain fixed while the thick verticals grow heavier, creating an increasingly dramatic ratio from Light through to Bold. The family includes more than three dozen decorative uppercase ligatures, covering pairs such as CH and overlapping O combinations, with lowercase ligatures also supported. Its geometric construction, double-storey 'a' and 'g', and oldstyle figure alternates round out a display typeface well suited to fashion editorial, branding and poster work.
Classification
Categorised as Sans/Display on Fontshare; its defining characteristic is extreme stroke contrast paired with geometric letterforms, placing it firmly in display territory rather than conventional sans-serif usage.
