Generica Light & Medium
Parkinson Type Design · Jim Parkinson
A geometric sans rooted in Metro and Erbar, offering a slightly informal character compared to stricter historical models of the genre.
About
Generica draws on the geometric sans tradition of Metro and Erbar, sharing DNA with other Parkinson designs including Post Sans, Richmond and Chronicle Metro. It sits in lighter and medium weights at this page, with a bolder cut available separately. The design retains geometric structure while leaning toward a less formal, subtly playful register.
Classification
Based on Metro and Erbar, two classic geometric sans-serif typefaces from the early twentieth century. The design carries the proportions and circular stroke structure typical of the geometric sans genre, with a described touch of informality and playfulness distinguishing it from stricter geometric models.
