About the family


From the late 1980s through the 1990s and into the early 2000s, graphic design saw a major shift toward simplicity and neutrality. One of its defining characteristics was the removal of ornamentation in favor of an artificial, industrial aesthetic. This trend was clearly influenced by the widespread adoption of computers and the rise of the internet.

Rather than relying on traditional craftsmanship and intuition, designers began to embrace grid systems and modular structures. While these designs may have appeared amateurish at first glance, they embodied a sense of newness that resonated with the times.

By the late 2000s, a reaction to this movement emerged, leading to a renewed appreciation for organic and intuitive design—a sensibility that continues to influence today’s aesthetics.

This typeface was created as an homage to the early days of computers and the internet. In particular, the designer sought to capture the atmosphere of the 1990s, a period during which he first began studying design.

The type family consists of eight weights, each with a corresponding italic, and supports a wide range of Latin-based languages.
