About
Fono covers three distinct widths – Compressed, Medium and Expanded – at a single weight, with oblique companions for each. The family is lean in scope but coherent in approach, suited to typographic work where width contrast is the primary design lever. The specimen text is set in German, hinting at a Central European design context.
Classification
A single-weight grotesque family offered across three widths – Compressed, Medium and Expanded – each with an oblique, suggesting a straightforward lineal sans without additional weight variation.
