URW Geometric ® is a sans serif typeface inspired by the German geometric typefaces of the 1920s however developed for contemporary use. The character shapes have enhanced proportions and an enhanced balance, the x-height is increased, ascenders and descenders are decreased. Unique glyphs, which are typically designed later on for the original geometric typefaces from the 1920s, are perfectly integrated in the
URW Geometric ®. These design qualities increase the usability and legibility tremendously. With its 10 weights varying from Thin to Black, plus 10 extra oblique designs, it has a terrific flexibility in mind. The severe light styles shine intense in plus sizes, the middle weights are best for body copy and the bolder variants for using emphasis details or bring a strong impact to headings and details. The optically balanced styles are created to operate in ideal harmony together.
URW Geometric ® is practical, strong, simple and balanced in type, and at a glance appears as a modern variation of its predecessors. Apart from the standard characters the style has an extra focus on the unique glyphs. These are designed for todays requirements. For instance: the email glyph looks modern-day and unique, including a perfectly balanced spacing. The numero sign, in modern usage called "hashtag", is area conserving and optically balanced for body text. Additionally, various additional and alternate glyphs are designed to provide a friendly usability. Consisting of a wide Latin language assistance and character sets,
URW Geometric ® is completely developed for today's requirements. Please take a look at the
