A narrow reverse-contrast geometric with a deliberately disruptive posture, in six upright weights.

About

Explicit is a narrow geometric with reverse contrast, informed by obscure art, music and street apparel typography and drawn mostly from memory rather than from any one reference. Angular details were blunted or squared to balance its expressive stance. Six weights from Thin to Black, uprights only.

Classification

A narrow reverse-contrast geometric drawn from memory of counter-cultural art, music and street apparel graphics. Six upright weights, no italics. The reverse stress and posture put it in display.
