From the foundry
HW Clin is a contemporary interpretation of the Franklin Gothic tradition. It is based on the skeleton of historical american grotesque, but is deliberately less shaded. The strokes are straighter and the contrast more moderate, so that the font appears stable in both small sizes and large black headlines. At the same time, it borrows the principles of neo-grotesque. Balanced proportions, disciplined metrics, restrained details, and legibility without mannerisms.
