About
Designed as a condensed counterpart to Basic Sans, the family maintains a neutral, clean character while incorporating details that distinguish it from generic grotesques. Two subfamilies – the standard and the Alt – share the same weight range from Thin to Black, each with matching italics. The full character set of 416 glyphs covers 206 languages, making it a practical choice for multilingual publishing, branding and headline use.
Classification
A narrow grotesque with functional, neutral construction and clean lines, positioned as a condensed companion to the standard Basic Sans family. The Alt variant offers alternate glyphs for added personality.
