MegaMegaTypeType
A single-weight humanist sans from Jules Rousseau, drawing on ancient lapidary letterforms to produce an elegant face with diagonal strokes in N and M and open counters.
About
Humanity blends references to ancient stone engravings with a clean, modern structure, resulting in a typeface with a distinctly airy quality owing to its generous counter spaces. The most characteristic feature is the slanted strokes in the N and M, which give the face a subtle historical edge without veering into pastiche. With 391 glyphs covering Latin European character sets, it is suited to branding and editorial contexts where a refined, slightly archaic atmosphere is required.
Classification
Self-described humanist sans-serif drawing from ancient engravings, with distinctive diagonal strokes in N and M suggesting a calligraphic or lapidary influence rather than a purely geometric or grotesque approach.
