Modus
GarageFonts · Thomas Mettendorf
A two-subfamily sans in eight styles by Thomas Mettendorf, offering separate text and headline cuts across a range of weights with matching italics.
About
Modus splits into a text family covering Regular through Bold and a Headline subfamily at the weight extremes, giving it a range suited to editorial hierarchies. Three weights with italics serve the text role, while Light and ExtraBold cuts handle display settings at larger sizes. The separation between optical contexts is a practical solution for publications needing a single-family system.
Classification
The presence of distinct text and headline optical sizes, together with the range of weights and italics, suggests a humanist sans designed for editorial use across multiple scales.
