About
Originating from Summerour's 2011 Halogen release, this Pro variant introduces a softer aesthetic while retaining the generous x-height and extended character set of the original family. Seven weights from Hairline to Black each carry an oblique companion, and OpenType features include small caps, oldstyle and tabular numerals, swash alternates and fractions. Script coverage spans Latin, Cyrillic and Greek, with language support claimed across 343 languages.
Classification
An extended geometric sans with a generous x-height, offered in oblique rather than true italic cuts, with a softened variant aesthetic that distinguishes it from harder-edged geometric predecessors in the Halogen family.
