About
Khang maintains consistent stroke contrast from ExtraLight to Bold, drawing its modulation from broad-nib calligraphic tradition rather than optical size adjustment. A tall x-height, open counterforms and terminals cut horizontally or vertically make it legible at text sizes and characterful at display scales. Each font includes alternate single-storey 'a' and 'g' forms, 15 f-ligatures and a 'tt' ligature, supporting corporate identity and editorial work.
Classification
A monolinear sans with stroke modulation drawn from broad-nib calligraphy, giving it a low but consistent contrast across all six weights. The open counterforms, tall x-height and horizontal/vertical terminals situate it within the humanist sans tradition.
