Noga — Geometric humanist sans serif typeface

•

Noga is a geometric-humanist typeface family that’s all about taking unexpected turns when it comes to contrast flow. Letters are shaped by common sense and sensibility for the adequacy of things. It is an attempt at forging a contemporary typeface that has a recognizable and formidable personality in bigger sizes — while its energetic stroke modulation maintains a distinguished form amidst longer texts.

When it comes to Noga, we did our best to breathe life and sparkle into an often-monotonous Sans Serif genre. Every letter is freely drawn and accompanied by an interesting variation of accent in the thin and thick strokes — each of which, in turn, is terminated in such a manner that it glides sleekly into the next one. Hence, the letters flow into effortlessly recognizable word formations.

Rather than adhering to conventional typographic dispositions, the letters are shaped by common sense and a sensibility for the adequacy of things. Whilst observing the exterior of the shapes, one could argue that it is marked by a gothic or even geometric design, whereas on the inside there is a lot of broad nib movement going on. As with any design you’ll stumble upon in our catalogue, it’s more about amplifying the spirit of the original template rather than the mere retracing of pre-existing shapes.
