Conto specimen from TypeMates

A spurless humanist sans in four widths and eight weights, designed for corporate typography across print, screen and interface contexts.

About

Conto's simplified lowercase forms shed spurs while retaining open counters and a generous x-height, giving it a friendly neutrality suited to everything from banking apps to printed advertising. The superfamily spans 64 static styles across regular, narrow, condensed and compressed widths, supplemented by a variable font. Each weight includes small caps, case-sensitive punctuation and over 100 discretionary ligatures, making it serviceable for logotype work as well as extended typesetting.

Classification

Spurless lowercase forms combine constructed, mono-linear geometry with humanist warmth. Open counters and a generous x-height place it firmly in the humanist sans tradition despite its Bauhaus-influenced minimalism.
