FH Dfaalt
A six-weight neo-grotesque conceived as a neutral, context-independent default with roots in Akzidenz Grotesk, Neue Haas Grotesk and Helvetica.
About
FH Dfaalt is built around the principle of typographic restraint, avoiding stylistic flourishes in favour of consistent proportions and clean spacing across all twelve styles. It is positioned as a general-purpose workhorse for print, screen, branding and editorial work, drawing on the Swiss and German grotesque tradition without directly reviving any single historical source. Each weight carries a matching italic, giving the family practical coverage across common typographic scenarios.
Classification
A neo-grotesque sans-serif drawing directly from the Akzidenz Grotesk and Helvetica tradition, prioritising neutrality and functional simplicity over stylistic distinction. Its even stroke weight, restrained apertures and upright roman construction place it firmly in the Swiss modernist lineage.
