Legit Superfamily specimen from Finaltype

A 102-style superfamily built around a uniwidth system, meaning all weights remain interchangeable without disrupting layout.

About

Developed by Prof. Hans R. Heitmann over more than three decades, Legit comprises four distinct typeface styles that share identical metrics across all 102 fonts. The uniwidth approach allows weights and styles to be swapped freely without reflowing text. Each style functions independently in character while supporting the same glyph set, including ligatures, stylistic alternates and accented characters for over 36 languages.

Classification

Described as a text typeface optimised for small sizes with display versatility; the page references four distinct main styles within a shared uniwidth system, suggesting a broad serif superfamily with multiple stylistic variants.
