Information
Metric is a geometric, humanist sans serif inspired by lettering on West Berlin street signs. Unlike most engineered lettering for signage, these letterforms are elegant and clear. Their monoline construction feels rational and unpretentious. Metric gently tempers the engineer’s geometric tendencies by applying typographic principles of optical correction. The resulting letterforms are contemporary and crisp. Metric was designed alongside Calibre. They share a fundamental geometry but differ in the finish of key letterforms.
