Leinster Type · Troy Leinster · 2012
An economically proportioned humanist sans by Troy Leinster, built for text legibility and wayfinding, with a strong OpenType feature set including arrows and location markers.
About
Ten styles span five weights from Light to Bold with companion italics, and a variable font version allows fine-grained weight adjustment. Open forms and a generous x-height aid legibility at small sizes and at distance, making it appropriate for signage, software interfaces and editorial text alike. The OpenType feature set goes beyond the usual alternates to include circled figures, circled arrows, chevrons and location markers, giving it practical utility for civic and wayfinding contexts.
Classification
Explicitly described as a humanist sans serif, with open forms, generous x-height and low contrast characteristic of the humanist tradition, suited to text and wayfinding applications.
