Landform
Process Type Foundry · Eric Olson · 2022
A six-weight sans by Eric Olson sitting between European geometric and American grotesque traditions, with distinctive capitals and a simplified lowercase.
About
Drawn by Eric Olson and released in 2022, Landform draws on European geometric typefaces and the confident lettering found in 20th-century American architectural signage. Six weights run from Light to Black with matching italics, giving 12 styles in total, and the design is intended to hold up across both print and screen. OpenType features include case-sensitive glyphs, stylistic alternates, tabular lining figures and pre-built fractions.
Classification
Positioned explicitly between geometric and grotesque traditions, with European geometric influences alongside American 20th-century architectural lettering; simplified lowercase and distinctive capitals place it in a geometric grotesque hybrid.
