About
Part of NaN's Rage Typographic Universe alongside Rage Beau and Rage Slab, this family balances cold detailing — horizontal stroke endings, square punctuation — against genuinely warm proportions and open counters. Four widths from Standard to XCondensed give it unusual range, spanning editorial text columns through to tightly set display work. Supporting 305 Latin-based languages makes it a practical choice for multilingual publishing at any scale.
Classification
Described as a subtly contrasted sans with 1800s undertones and humanist warmth; the gentle contrast, open counters and delicate endings place it firmly in the humanist sans tradition rather than a cold geometric or grotesque one.
