About
Hurme FIN 1a Compressed is one of nine width variants within a large monolinear sans-serif family characterised by horizontal stroke terminals, short ascenders and descenders, and an x-height that increases proportionally as the width narrows. The compressed subfamily runs from Hairline to Black with a full set of optically adjusted obliques, giving sixteen styles in total. An alternative character set, FIN 1b, ships free alongside each purchase, allowing access to angular, monospace-inspired glyphs with slab serifs via OpenType features.
Classification
A simplified monolinear sans-serif with horizontal stroke terminals and no contrast, placing it firmly in the grotesque tradition, here in its compressed width variant across a large design space.
