Neptune specimen from Indian Type Foundry

A 12-style geometric sans from Gaetan Baehr that tempers strict geometry with humanist details in the 'k', 't' and 'S' to set it apart from the genre's more austere examples.

About

Neptune spans six weights from Extralight to Extrabold, each with an oblique, built on near-mono-linear strokes and a tall x-height that still accommodates prominent diacritical marks. Single-storey 'a' and 'g', round dots and a simplified Q tail are the expected geometric moves, but vertical terminals on the 'S' and handwritten traces in the 'k' and 't' introduce a quiet individuality. The family's range and legibility make it serviceable across corporate and editorial contexts alike.

Classification

Strictly geometric sans serif with mono-linear strokes, single-storey 'a' and 'g', and round dots on 'i' and 'j'. Small departures from pure geometry – such as the simplified Q tail, vertical terminals on 'S', and humanist traces in 'k' and 't' – distinguish it within the genre.
