Description of the typeface by the submitter
This typeface combines versatility and functionality. It’s a grotesque sans typeface with Weight, Width, and Italic variable font axes, support for ten global writing systems, and an extensive icon set. The weight axis spans from Hair to Black and the width one from Condensed to Extended. The Italic axis is binary. Its design is meant to be sober and utilitarian with a few unexpected twists.
