Humanist Sans Fonts
Humanist sans fonts usually show visible traces of the tool that makes the shapes. They are characterised by organic letterforms with stroke modulation. The earliest humanist sans typeface is probably Edward Johnston’s typeface for the London Underground from 1916, but a more typical example is Syntax (Stempel, 1969) and Frutiger (Linotype, 1976).
