Cahuenga
Lux Typo · Greg Lindy · 2018
Greg Lindy's 2018 humanist sans in five weights with matching italics, designed for dual use in text and display settings without adherence to a single historical model.
About
Developed over a long and complex process, Cahuenga grew organically from formal exploration driven by both aesthetic and functional considerations. It spans five weights from Light to Extra Bold, each with a corresponding italic, providing a versatile palette for editorial and typographic work. Named after the winding Hollywood boulevard, it carries a tone described by its designer as sincere rather than prescriptive.
Classification
A humanist sans-serif with both text and display applications, developed organically without a single historical model, suggesting a contemporary humanist approach rather than a strict geometric or grotesque classification.
