Houschka Pro specimen from G-Type

A monolinear humanist sans with rounded corners and signature glyph eccentricities, drawing on the tradition of Gill Sans and Johnston.

About

Six weights from Thin to ExtraBold, each with a true italic, give the family 12 styles in total, all carrying extended Latin and Cyrillic coverage. Distinctive glyphs at A, G, Q, W and w give Houschka Pro a light personality that sets it apart from more neutral corporate humanists, though stylistic alternate sets allow these to be swapped for straighter forms. A companion family, Houschka Alt Pro, ships with the conventional alternates as defaults for users who prefer a cleaner corporate register.

Classification

Monolinear structure with rounded corners and humanist proportions places it squarely in the humanist sans tradition, citing Gill Sans and Johnston as reference points while adding distinctive rounded terminals.
