Klein Font

Designers: Francesco Canovaro, Cosimo Lorenzo Pancini, Andrea Tartarelli
Publisher: Zetafonts

Created by Francesco Canovaro, Cosimo Pancini and Andrea Tartarelli, Klein is a sans serif font style family. This typeface has fifty-four styles and was released by Zetafonts.

Klein is Zetafonts love letter to the grandma of all geometric sans typefaces, Futura. Beginning from a discussion with Paul Renner's iconic letterforms and proportions, Francesco Canovaro and Andrea Tartarelli decided to depart from its unique modernist shapes with small humanist touches and grotesque solutions - with some style choices stimulating the softness of humanist sans serifs like Gill Sans.

The outcome is a workhorse superfamily of 54 font styles with complete multilingual abilities and coverage of over two hundred languages using latin, cyrillic and greek alphabets. The original display-oriented family, established in nine weights with matching italics (from the hairline thin to the durable black), has actually been paired with a text variation (with somewhat higher x-height, much better readability and maximum legibility at little point size) and with a condensed variation, to be utilized for space-saving display solutions in editorial and advertising formats.

With a name that is both a nod to its simple performance and a tribute to french nouveau realiste artist Yves Klein, this typeface intends to become your next trusted companion in all your experiences in print, digital and motion design.
