From the foundry
Knul is an elegant modern typeface with a subtle mono-line appearance, featuring balanced engineered geometry with delicate hand touches that allows for practical typesetting without complications. Designed with six weights and italics, with over 600 characters per style and six variations of numerals (inferiors, superiors, fractions, lining and tabular). Knul's mechanical simplicity is best suited to identity, editorial, advertising and software applications, and is particularly optimized for video games. Born in Sheffield and inspired by local and continental industrialism, paying homage to historic manufacturing towns in Northern England and Germany, with a modernized approach to the DIN typeface. Remastered to version 2.0 for improved OpenType features and usability.
