Tangent
Terminal Design · James Montalbano
sans-serifgeometric sansitalic
A geometric sans deliberately drawn to avoid the perfect circles and squares that make most geometric sans letterforms look mechanical.
About
Tangent came out of Montalbano's work teaching type design, built around the idea that perfect circles and squares make terrible-looking letters. Eight weights from Thin to Black, each with a matching oblique, minimise the pure geometric forms typical of the genre in favour of something friendlier and more legible.
Classification
Developed through Montalbano's teaching, built specifically to avoid the perfect circles and squares that he argues make for poor-looking geometric sans letterforms.
