Oficía POLY BETA specimen from Charlotte Rohde

A beta-release humanist sans in a single Black weight, drawing on Antique Olive and Gill Sans as declared references while offering alternate glyphs as a considered replacement for the latter.

About

Oficía Poly Beta exists explicitly as an alternative to Gill Sans, retaining a similarly characterful lowercase 'i' whilst distancing itself from Gill's designer. Antique Olive is cited as a second influence, lending the face a warm, slightly quirky quality. The glyph set covers extended Latin and includes multiple stylistic sets for the 'i', 'j', 't' and umlaut characters.

Classification

A humanist sans with acknowledged influences from Antique Olive and Gill Sans, featuring characteristic details such as a distinctive lowercase 'i' and alternate glyph sets. The poly suffix suggests a polyphonic or variable design intent.
