A nine-weight grotesque sans with a variable axis and over ten stylistic sets, designed for use across interfaces, editorial work and identity systems.
About
Nine upright weights run from Hairline to Extra Bold, with a variable font unlocking additional steps between them. More than ten stylistic sets allow alternate letter shapes, a choice of round or square dots and subtle character variants, so the family can shift tone without changing its underlying structure. Extras include discretionary ligatures, case-sensitive punctuation, multiple figure sets, arrows, symbols and coverage for over 390 languages including Vietnamese.
Classification
Described by the foundry as a contemporary grotesque for everyday use, with upright-only weights, alternate letterforms and optical tuning across caption to headline sizes typical of the genre.
