Paulo Goode · Paulo Goode · 2019
A nine-weight humanist sans serif from 2019, defined by spurless lowercase stems and a broad OpenType feature set including small caps and old style figures.
About
Ergonomique's character comes from its spurless lowercase construction, where stems are truncated and blend smoothly into adjoining arcs across letters such as a, b, d, m, n, p, q, r and u. Nine weights run from Thin to Ultra, each with a complementing italic, giving 18 fonts in total. Small caps, old style figures, 16 ligatures and Latin Extended coverage make it adaptable from branding and display work through to body text settings.
