A. ABF Linéaire
Nouvelle Noire · Philippe Apeloig · 2013
A geometric sans by Philippe Apeloig that redraws the solid forms of ABF Petit as linear outlines across six weights from Thin to Bold.
About
Designed by Philippe Apeloig and developed by Nouvelle Noire, this typeface takes the rectangular, oval and dot-based geometry of ABF Petit and strips it back to linear contours, producing characters that feel more fluid despite retaining their underlying geometric logic. Six weights from Thin to Bold give a useful range for typographic hierarchies. The family is intended to work alongside its sister fonts in the ABF series or independently, where the linear construction adds a spare, structured energy to display and editorial settings.
Classification
A geometric sans built from linear contours derived from the rectangular and oval forms of ABF Petit, retaining strict geometry while introducing fluidity through outline-based construction.
