Description

Fagun is a humanist sans-serif with calligraphic roots. The method combines broad nib pen-style strokes with straight-line geometry to form a compelling and coherent typeface suitable for long lines of text. Each character has the right balance of diagonal contrast, which creates a pleasant contradiction between internal and external lines. The result is an original design with incredible clarity and usability across many text-based scenarios.
