718
Terminal Design · James Montalbano
sans-serifhumanist grotesqueitalic
A twelve-weight humanist grotesque named after Brooklyn's phone code, built to hold its own in both text and display.
About
718 mixes English, Italian and Dutch sans-serif habits with humanist and geometric touches, giving it a personality a straight grotesque would not have. Twelve weights from Extra Thin to Ultra each come with a matching italic and a full set of OpenType figures, fractions and small caps. Montalbano built it as a text face first, with enough character to carry display sizes too.
Classification
Montalbano describes 718 as pulling from English, Italian, Dutch, humanist and geometric sources at once, which puts it closer to a broad humanist grotesque than any single historical sans model.
