About
Base 900 extends the Base family lineage into a more conventional text and display sans-serif, offering Light, Regular, Medium, Bold and Heavy weights each paired with an italic. Designed by Zuzana Licko, whose earlier Base 9 & 12 arose from bitmap screen constraints, this family takes a cleaner, more versatile direction suited to a broader range of applications. The ten individual styles can also be purchased as bundled packages.
Classification
