From the foundry
ABC Solar is a highly customizable geometric sans with a large weight spectrum and matching italics. You can change how it looks by selecting from a huge range of alternates — and by choosing between straight or angled cuts. It’s giving Kabel, Vogue, Metro No. 2, Johnston, and Erbar-Grotesque plus Futura, but calling it what it is, Solar lives in that space between Remix and Homage of all the above—with a dash of poetic license thrown in. One of Solar’s defining characteristics is its round shapes, like its almost circular capital O. Some of its letters are simple in their construction, like the single-storey a and cross-like t. But the open counters and straight terminals in characters like c and s break from this geometry, creating a sense of fluidity. Solar’s 8 stylistic sets reference various geometric and humanistic typefaces from the early 20th century: switch them up to switch up the typeface’s look. While Solar subfamily is made for legibility and functionality, Solar Display has been imagined for tight and punchy headlines.
