Segment A is an effective screen type family with 18 styles influenced by condensed European grotesques of 19th-century, however with clear geometric proportions. In Black weights, the letterforms are influenced by the aggressive commercial graphic design of the 1960s and 70s. Both have 3 axes and are adjustable in weight, width and 10 ˚ italic. It is a typeface with narrow percentages, unique character, high-quality outline and great deals of details. Characters have oblique cuts, sharp tails and highly noticeable ink traps. All this makes the font more aggressive and edgy. The substantial x-height with short ascenders and descenders enables this typeface to be utilized in blocks with minimal line spacing.
