Humber is a rational sans serif typeface that boasts a large X-height for clarity at both text and display sizes and subtle features that shine at larger sizes.
The name Humber draws inspiration from the river and the bridge that spans it. Like its namesake, Humber strives to address practical and effective solutions that gradually reveal more detail upon closer examination.
Inspired by 20th-century typefaces and modern European designs, Humber is suitable for a diverse range of projects and audiences seeking a professional typeface that aims to offer more subtle details than its contemporaries.
For instance, both the lowercase r and f feature a flattened that looks to create forward momentum. Similar flourishes can be seen in the lowercase t and uppercase R, where sharp corners are eliminated in favour of flat edges.
Humber offers seven weights, matching italics, discretionary ligatures, lining, old-style, and tabular figures. Containing conditional kerning for accented characters and over 738 glyphs, Humber supports over 339 Latin-based languages, making it truly versatile.
