About the family


Sui Generis is where square-shouldered engineering meets a human touch. Its sturdy, geometric skeleton recalls technical lettering, yet the softened corners and subtle spurs on the lowercase keep it from feeling cold or mechanical. Instead, it projects a grounded personality—functional enough for the shop floor, distinctive enough for the front window.

The open counters and angled terminals improve legibility without sacrificing style, making it as comfortable in a long block of text as it is in bold display headlines. Four weights, two widths, italics, and an outline style mean it can scale from a whisper to a shout while keeping a consistent voice.

It’s an ideal choice for technical yet approachable branding—think design firms, small manufacturers, or craft electronics startups looking for a logo that conveys precision without corporate sterility. Its understated retro-futurist character makes it equally at home on speculative book covers, alt-history film posters, or game interfaces that need a touch of engineered realism.

For public-facing industrial graphics, Sui Generis works like a well-calibrated instrument: clear in a transport map, assertive in a museum sign, and dependable in architectural wayfinding. And when used in cultural or event materials—music festivals, gallery promotions, or sports tournaments—it brings structure and clarity without sanding away individuality.

Sui Generis is a quiet workhorse with just enough idiosyncrasy to make your project feel designed, not default. If you want a typeface that balances engineered stability with a warm, utilitarian charm, this is it.
