Clarity begins with reading.

Compare widths, weights and slants. Each style uses a separate font file.

03 / Refinement

Geometry in service of reading.

A consistent construction is a starting point. Legibility depends on the details: open counters, clear joins, recognisable forms and space between letters. This revision focuses on those details.

Read the change notes

Il1

Distinct letterforms.

I, l and 1 retain individual identities without the abrupt square steps of the earlier revision.

elt

Clear joins and open shapes.

Refined terminals and transitions remove distracting protrusions and improve the rhythm of lowercase text.

èçü

Attention to language.

Italian and French accents, German umlauts and Latin ligatures share the same visual system.

04 / Language

Different languages. The same need for clarity.

Latin letters, accents, figures and everyday symbols.

(È) un casino.

C’est compliqué.

It’s a mess.

Was für ein Durcheinander.

一团糟。

めちゃくちゃだ。
