Information
Geograph is a contemporary, geometric sans serif originally designed for National Geographic. We visited the historic wellsprings of geometric and grotesk typefaces, drawing upon idealism of Futura and the pragmatism of Super Grotesk. Geograph’s suite of alternate letterforms enable flexible typographic textures and tones.
