Essent

About

Essent started life as Typeji's internal system typeface, under the working name Typeji Neue, before growing into a full eight-weight retail family with italics and a variable font. Its stroke-end cuts follow the direction of each stroke, softening a neo-grotesque's usual neutrality without losing it. Built for text, editorial layouts and everyday documents rather than headlines.

Classification

Neutral, low-contrast construction with softened stroke ends places Essent in the neo-grotesque subcategory, built for text rather than display.
