Über die Familie


The Pilatus font is a sans-serif technical typeface derived from the ISO 3098 standard, which was originally developed to ensure high legibility when technical drawings were reduced onto film. Pilatus follows the strict geometric rules, fixed line ratios, and clear construction principles defined by the standard, resulting in a precise and highly readable appearance. The typeface features sharp terminals and a consistent geometric structure, avoiding the rounded stroke endings common in older hand-drawn engineering lettering. Pilatus adheres to the ISO-3098 grid system and includes over 600 Latin and greek characters, making it suitable for contemporary digital workflows. Its generous internal spacing preserves clarity even when documents are scaled down dramatically, a core requirement of technical drafting. Pilatus commonly uses Type B, whose proportions (with a capital height defined as 10× the stroke width) are widely established in engineering documentation. The digital design further improves on the original standard by refining kerning for combinations that traditionally created excessive gaps, resulting in a more harmonious text flow. With fourteen styles ranging from thin to black in both upright and italic forms, Pilatus offers a broad functional palette. Despite this versatility, it maintains a consistent technical and objective character, making it ideal for architectural drawings, CAD environments, engineering diagrams, and any documentation where precision and clarity are essential. Additionally, the Pilatus-ISO variant is available, which follows the exact spacing rules of the ISO standard and intentionally contains no additional kerning adjustments.

Pilatus

Über Milan Rohrer Studio

I'm an Industrial Designer based in Switzerland. Now working on physical product design in several industries I've always been driven by the power of graphic design. Clearly geometrical forms and precise forms inspired me. When I was learning technical drawing of airplanes in my apprenticeship I was impressed by the precision of the standard fonts. I haven't found a good digital font that has this accuracy of the old analogue standards. So I started creating my own fonts.
