Geez Archive · Dalton Maag Ltd · 2011
A single ultra-light headline cut from Nokia's corporate typeface family, designed by Dalton Maag and notable for its extensive Ethiopic script coverage spanning the full Amharic Unicode range.
About
Released in 2011 as part of Nokia's Pure type system, this headline weight was built for brand use at large sizes where its fine strokes and open spacing perform best. The glyph set is unusually broad for a corporate font, covering the full Ethiopic Unicode block (U+1200–U+137F) and Ethiopic Supplement (U+1380–U+139F) alongside Latin. With 1,576 glyphs in a single Regular style, it offers meaningful multilingual reach despite its narrow stylistic scope.
Classification
A humanist sans-serif designed for Nokia's corporate identity, featuring ultra-light weight proportions suited to headline use. The design balances legibility with a refined, minimal stroke weight.
