A low-contrast, semi-condensed sans-serif by Eben Sorkin, built for legibility at small sizes on screen while retaining a traditional feel.
About
Designed by Eben Sorkin of Sorkin Type, it pairs modern screen-friendly letterforms with a warmth and rhythm more typical of traditional text faces. The family spans six weights from Light to Extra Bold, each with a matching italic, and is available as a variable font. Its Latin script coverage and open-source licence under the SIL OFL make it a practical choice for digital publishing and UI work.
Classification
Described as a low-contrast semi-condensed sans-serif with traditional feeling despite modern screen-oriented shapes, placing it in the humanist sans tradition rather than geometric or grotesque.
