A modern neo-grotesque typeface. Having actually grown up in Sheffield and been totally immersed in the work of The Designers Republic I became very drawn to their treatment of Helvetica, especially the close tracking of the letter area. This visual investigation led me to the study of the font style Hass Unica, a so called enhancement to Helvetica. In order not to reproduce and end up being a clone of Unica I redrew all the characters from scratch enhancing optical appearance, establishing subtle corrections and improving specific letterforms. The result is a remixed neo-grotesque typeface that has strong general optical balance with terrific rhythm under close tracking. Information consist of 10 weights, an extended European character set, true italic, manually edited kerning and Euro symbol.
