About
Designed by Gumpita Rahayu at Tokotype, it draws on Neuzeit Grotesk, Futura and 1930s grotesque sans-serifs, with near-monoline contrast and a slightly taller x-height for legibility across sizes. Three stylistic alternates, named Lancip (Sharp), Lurus (Straight) and Lingkar (Swirl), give individual glyphs distinctive character. The family spans seven weights with matching italics and includes variable font files for both weight and italic axes.
Classification
