About
Humus combines humanist proportions with a calligraphic edge and asymmetric serifs on select characters, giving it a distinctly Ukrainian flavour without sacrificing versatility. The character set covers Slavic Cyrillic, extended European Latin and monotonic Greek, with support for ligatures, old-style figures, fractions and stylistic alternates. Developed over fifteen years, the family offers ten styles in total across five weights with matching italics.
Classification
Described by the foundry as a humanistic semi-serif grotesque, Humus combines humanist proportions and calligraphic sharpness with asymmetric serifs on certain letters, placing it firmly in the humanist sans tradition with distinctive regional character.
