Oculus
PSY/OPS Type Foundry · RXC · 1997
A three-weight geometric sans from 1997, offering standard and small caps styles with obliques across each weight for a total of twelve fonts.
About
Oculus organises its type system around three named gauges — A, B and C — each available in standard and small caps variants with corresponding obliques. The family covers Western and Eastern European character sets, with ligatures included. Small caps are treated as a full parallel subfamily rather than an OpenType feature, reflecting the conventions of its late-1990s origins.
Classification
The three-weight 'gauge' system and oblique rather than italic variants suggest a geometric or technical sans-serif construction. The naming convention and overall structure point to a clean, engineered aesthetic rather than a humanist or grotesque tradition.
