Publisher: The Northern BlockA modern neo-grotesque typeface. Having matured in Sheffield and been totally immersed in the work of The Designers Republic I ended up being really drawn to their treatment of Helvetica, specifically the close tracking of the letter space. This visual investigation led me to the research study of the font style Hass Unica, a so called enhancement to Helvetica. In-order not to reproduce and become a clone of Unica I redrew all the characters from scratch enhancing optical look, developing subtle corrections and improving individual letterforms. The outcome is a remixed neo-grotesque typeface that has strong general optical balance with excellent rhythm under close tracking. Information include 10 weights, an extended European character set, real italic, by hand edited kerning and Euro symbol.
