Iskra specimen from TypeTogether

Tom Grace's low-contrast humanist sans drawn from brush lettering traditions, offered in seven weights with matching italics for text and display use.

About

Iskra's slightly top-heavy asymmetry and subtle stroke modulation recall the energy of brush lettering without sacrificing typographic consistency over long runs of text. Seven weights from Ultra Thin to Ultra Bold, each with an italic, give the family broad range across editorial, branding and advertising contexts. OpenType features include stylistic sets, fractions, ordinals, superscript and subscript, alongside standard ligatures and case-sensitive forms.

Classification

Low-contrast upright design with stroke modulation and slightly top-heavy asymmetry drawn from brush lettering traditions, placing it firmly in the humanist sans category. The warmth of individual letterforms and balanced text rhythm reinforce this classification.
