Scenic Sans
Fort Foundry · Mattox Shuler, Brian Brubaker
A geometric grotesque spanning nine weights with matching italics, designed with Helvetica and the early digital typeface Digiset as reference points.
About
Designed by Mattox Shuler and Brian Brubaker at Fort Foundry, Scenic Sans draws on Helvetica's screen ubiquity and Digiset, one of the earliest digital typefaces built for screens. The family runs from Thin to Black across 18 styles plus a variable font, covering editorial, branding, wayfinding and information design. Latin extended glyph coverage supports a wide range of languages across the full weight range.
Classification
The foundry explicitly describes it as a geometric grotesk, citing Helvetica and Digiset as reference points. Its structure combines geometric proportions with grotesque warmth, placing it firmly in that subcategory.
