RL Limo
Radluka · Radek Lukasiewicz · 2024
A 2024 humanist sans in six weights with matching italics, built on a tension between spiky terminals and rounded counters that intensifies as the weights grow heavier.
About
RL Limo pairs sharp, angular terminals with generously curved counters on characters such as 'O', 'C', 'd' and 'g', creating a graphic contrast that reads as experimental without abandoning humanist proportions. Lighter weights hold enough legibility for paragraph use, while the heavier cuts tighten their counters for a high-impact, display-oriented presence. The design draws loosely from Art Nouveau typography and acknowledges ITC Benguiat as a reference point, particularly in the Black and Extra styles.
Classification
Classified as humanist sans due to its organic proportions and calligraphic influences, though it resists strict categorisation through its contrasting sharp, spiky terminals set against generously rounded counters, drawing loosely from Art Nouveau typographic tradition.
