NaN · Reymund Schröder · 2021
A humanist sans in three subfamilies, each named for a time of day and distinguished by contrasting terminal treatments drawn from the calligraphic work of Hildegard Korger.
About
Designed by Reymund Schröder as a typographic extrapolation of 20th-century calligrapher Hildegard Korger's work, the family is structured around three named subfamilies: Sunrise with concave stem sections, Noon with flat terminals and settled neutrality, and Sunset with rounded forms and hair-thin connections. Rather than a conventional weight hierarchy, the three styles function as a spectrum of mood, intended to be mixed on the same page or even within the same word. Supporting 219 Latin-based languages, the family spans seven weights per subfamily.
Classification
