A geometric variable sans by Ian Party spanning 240 styles across weight, width, italic and contrast axes, drawing from the Bauhaus tradition of elemental forms.

About

Built from circles, triangles and rectangles, the typeface follows the geometric archetype established in the 1920s and 1930s, keeping stroke contrast minimal and widths even across the family. A single variable font covers four axes simultaneously, with 240 static styles also available in OTF, TTF and WOFF2. Latin coverage is broad, spanning over 80 languages including African and European scripts.

Classification

Built from circles, triangles and rectangles in the tradition of Bauhaus-era geometric sans serifs; the variable axes cover weight, width, italic and contrast, keeping stroke contrast low and forms highly constructed throughout.
