Flink Neue Variable
A geometric sans offered as a single variable font, spanning nine weights from Thin to Black with italics and a notably large x-height relative to its historical references.
About
Drawing on the canon of 1920s geometric sans-serifs, particularly Futura, Erbar and Kabel, and the later influence of Avant Garde Gothic, Flink Neue is Identity Letters' contribution to the genre. Its x-height is larger than most classic geometric sans-serifs, and its proportions are harmonised rather than strictly geometric, broadening its usefulness from body copy to display sizes. The family is issued as a single variable font file and includes small capitals, oldstyle figures, Bauhaus alternates and an extensive set of OpenType features.
Classification
Explicitly inspired by Futura, Erbar, Kabel and Avant Garde Gothic, Flink Neue sits squarely in the geometric sans tradition, characterised by neat, near-circular forms and a clean, focused appearance.
