A structured sans-serif system from Typotheque spanning three widths and six weights, designed for demanding text and editorial applications.
About
The Riggs system is organised into three width families — standard, Condensed and Extended — each running from ExtraLight to Bold with matching italics, giving 36 styles in total. The width variants make it adaptable across tight and generous measures alike, from newspaper columns to signage. Each style is named after a world city, a conceit that nods to the font's global applicability across scripts and contexts.
Classification
The family's breadth of widths and weight range, combined with its naming conventions and structured system architecture, point to a humanist sans-serif intended for demanding editorial and wayfinding contexts.
