Locale
Fort Foundry · Mattox Shuler
A rounded sans-serif by Mattox Shuler that blends geometric and neo-grotesque qualities, offered in both proportional and monospaced cuts.
About
Designed by Mattox Shuler and produced by Brian Brubaker, Locale pairs a generous x-height with softly rounded terminals and playful stroke construction. The family runs across four weights from Regular to Heavy, each with a matching italic, and the full set is mirrored in a Locale Mono subfamily for code or tabular contexts. Broad Latin Extended language support and OpenType features including fractions, case-sensitive forms and stylistic alternates round out a practical workhorse.
Classification
Fort Foundry describe it as sitting between geometric and neo-grotesque styles with rounded terminals, placing it firmly in the rounded grotesque subcategory of sans-serif.
