Studio Buchanan · Jonny Gibson · 2018

About
Kamber sits between grotesque restraint and humanist personality, using subtle convex terminals and a curved letterform construction to create a distinct, approachable rhythm without tipping into novelty. Its x-height runs at approximately 70% of cap height, keeping running text legible while the letterforms retain enough character for display use. Sixteen styles cover eight weights with corresponding italics, supported by small caps, ligatures, old-style figures and stylistic alternates.
Classification
