A single-weight display family in four widths, drawing on condensed European and American type traditions associated with Herb Lubalin and Walter Haettenschweiler.
About
Designed by Fase Studio between 2022 and 2023, it blends features from several classic condensed typefaces into something with a predominantly mechanical character, offset by subtle irregularities that keep it from feeling cold. The family runs from Black to Black XXCondensed and is also available as a variable font with a width axis, supported by standard ligatures, case-sensitive forms and a squared stylistic set. Extended Latin coverage makes it suitable for a broad range of European languages.
Classification
A single-weight display typeface available in four widths from Regular to XXCondensed, drawing on classic condensed display types in the tradition of Lubalin and Haettenschweiler. Its mechanical character and headline-focused design place it firmly in the display category.
