Fibra One
Latinotype · Jorge Cisterna · 2018
A 32-style geometric sans by Jorge Cisterna that softens the angular structure of the original Fibra with rounded corners and smooth curve-to-straight transitions, offered in two subfamilies tuned for different levels of formality.
About
Fibra One retains the characteristic contrast between curved and straight strokes found in glyphs such as 'n' and 'h', alongside distinctive display details including three upper terminals in 'W' and an exaggerated leg on 'R'. Two subfamilies serve distinct purposes: Basic suits subheadings and formal text settings, while Alt is optimised for magazine headlines, posters and logotypes. A generous x-height extends the family's usefulness into corporate body copy despite its display orientation.
Classification
A geometric sans with softened corners and smooth curve-to-straight transitions, drawing influence from Avant Garde. The rounded joints and generous x-height place it firmly in the geometric humanised category, with display-oriented proportions.
