About
Drawing from the original Planet of the Apes logo and the Photo-Lettering alphabet Benguiat subsequently developed, House Industries worked with Christian Schwartz to build a conservative yet characterful sans-serif across three weights – Orangutan, Chimpanzee and Gorilla – each offered in Display and Text cuts. A fourth Display variant, Sacred Scroll, adds a decorative register to the family. Simian was among the first boutique foundry releases to ship with OpenType features.
