Criterium specimen from Aesthetic Type

A warm, rhythmic condensed sans drawn after Emil Ruder's Basel exhibition typography.

About

Criterium takes its cue from the modernist type Emil Ruder used for Gewerbemuseum Basel, with condensed proportions, rounded contours and enclosed terminals. Tight, arced stem joins on select letters set it apart. Light styles feel clear and kinetic; the black end is tense and dense. It carries a single alternate and is meant for display.

Classification
