About

Designed for the International Typeface Corporation, this typeface shares the proportions and weight range of its serifed counterpart, making the two families interchangeable within a single layout. Additional weights and small caps were added by Ole Schafer in 1998, while Cyrillic support was developed at ParaType in 1994 by Tagir Safayev and extended in 2002 by Isabella Chaeva. Greek coverage followed in 2000, designed by Panos Haratzopoulos at Cannibal Fonts.
