The condensed cut of Söhne, taking the Akzidenz lineage into tight columns and stacked headlines without losing the family's neutrality.
About
The narrow companion to Söhne, drawn by Kris Sowersby for measures and stacked headlines that the standard width can't hold. Eight weights from Extraleicht to Extrafett run with Kursiv italics, keeping the Söhne family's eight-step German nomenclature consistent across widths. Editorial mastheads, posters and tight UI labels are the natural home, often paired with Söhne for body copy.
Classification
Klim classifies it as Lineal: Grotesque; the condensed cut in the Söhne system, drawn from the same Akzidenz-Grotesk and Standard Medium reference points as the parent family.
