About
Sommet's compressed letterforms and tall x-height make it well-suited to space-constrained layouts, both for body copy and display use. The design carries a sharp, high-tech character consistent with the web 2.0 aesthetic of its era. Six weights with italics give it sufficient range for varied typographic applications.
Classification
