About Basic Fonts

Foundry: Sorkin Type Co

Basic is a low contrast san serif text face. Basic mixes familiar forms with a hint of novelty. It is is easy to read and is slightly elegant. Basic can be used from small sizes to larger display settings.

Source files are available from github.com/EbenSorkin/Basic. To contribute to the project, contact Eben Sorkin.

Updated August 2014: Sorkin Type Co extended the character set and improved the hinting.
