Kaleko 105 specimen from Talbot Type

A Gill Sans-influenced geometric sans with a single-storey 'a' and 'g', offered in six weights with an emphasis on x-height legibility.

About

Kaleko 105 shares a common structural foundation with Talbot Type's Kamerik and Kessel families, distinguished by its single-storey letterforms and circular lowercase geometry. Short ascenders and descenders are deliberately proportioned to maximise x-height presence, which the designer believes aids legibility at text sizes. It sits alongside Kaleko 205, which uses traditional two-storey 'a' and 'g' forms and variant numerals.

Classification

A geometric sans-serif with Gill Sans as its primary reference point, featuring a single-storey 'a' and 'g' that give it a more contemporary character than its sibling Kaleko 205. Short ascenders and descenders emphasise the x-height and reinforce its smooth, circular geometry.
