A five-weight humanist sans serif designed for legibility at small sizes, with a two-storey 'a', modern 'g' and a tailed 'l' setting it apart from more obvious alternatives.
About
Taking inspiration from Akzidenz and Helvetica while aiming for cleaner, more minimal lines, UpgRade targets maximum legibility at small sizes without abandoning display potential. The family spans five weights and includes old-style non-aligning figures alongside accented characters for Central European languages. Details such as the tailed 'l' and two-storey 'a' give it a distinct character within well-trodden humanist territory.
