Chronique specimen from Haus Type

A single-weight display serif drawn from the numeral style of vintage wristwatches, designed by Henric Bech Sjösten for Haus Type.

About

The typeface takes its cue from the distinctive numerals found on old wristwatches, using that source material as a springboard for a complete Latin character set. It is offered in one weight with OpenType support for fractions, case-sensitive forms and standard ligatures. Language coverage extends across 200+ Latin-script languages via the Latin Plus set.

Classification

A display serif with a single weight, drawn from the character of vintage wristwatch numerals. Its narrow, precise letterforms and typographic personality place it firmly in the display category rather than text use.
