Artford specimen from Synthview

A wide, big x-height grotesque sans with a North American accent, built to work as comfortably in headlines as in small text.

About

Artford runs six weights from Extra Light to Ultra Bold with italics, its generous x-height and gentle rounding at larger sizes giving it a friendlier read than a strict grotesque. Automatic collision-avoidance for lowercase f and j, and a www ligature, are built into the OpenType feature set. One weight, Regular, is available free.

Classification

Artford's grotesque proportions, moderate contrast and wide sans-serif letterforms put it in the grotesque subcategory rather than a geometric or humanist sans.
