Eidetic Modern
PSY/OPS Type Foundry · RXC · 1997
A humanist sans published by PSY/OPS in 1997, distinguished by tapered stems, buffed corners and vertical stress that set it apart from classical grotesque models.
About
Designed by RXC as the sanserif counterpart to Eidetic Neo, Eidetic Modern was the first of the two to be released, appearing in 1997. Its defining details — gently tapered stems, softened junctures and non-classical proportions — produce a contemporary character that sits outside both geometric and conventional humanist traditions. The family includes Western and Central European characters, ligatures and a small caps style.
Classification
Classified as a humanist sans due to its gently tapered stems, vertical stress and non-classical proportions, which distinguish it from geometric or grotesque approaches despite its contemporary styling.
