Dunbar
Dunbar is an exuberant geometric sans-serif with a unique structure that reinterprets Jakob Erbar's historic Erbar-Grotesk for contemporary applications. Available in three distinct optical versions—Dunbar Tall with maximal x-height for strong impact, Dunbar Text with balanced proportions for body copy, and Dunbar Low with expressive vertical rhythm—this typeface system offers tailored solutions for different typographic contexts. The design stays true to some of Erbar's innovative ideas around alternate letterforms and proportions while embracing variable font technology. With weights ranging from Hairline to Ultra, Dunbar works equally well in display settings, packaging, posters, editorial layouts, and section openers.
