Multiple Axis Type Family (ie weight + width)

Description

A tightly compressed sans with ever so closed apertures, a fairly large x-height, short ascenders and even shorter descenders. The overall design is mostly subtle with infrequent outbursts of lavish peculiarities; like a rather high waist, that is featured throughout some letters as a somewhat flavourful ingredient. The overall appearance lives off its reduced character. This family comprises 12 styles in six weights — Hairline to Bold — in Upright and Slanted and comes with extended language support; from Latin over Cyrillic and Greek to all kinds of arrows and some carefully selected symbols. It is a true workhorse for tight headlines and everything that screams for big typesetting.
