The Design

About Aprex Family Lettertype-Exemplaar

Aprex-lettertype is een perfecte balans tussen de minimalistische kwaliteiten die horen bij hedendaags sans met flair binnen de breedte van de toonbanken en comfortabele, ademende openingen. In alle gewichten en formaten heeft het lettertype een uitstekende leesbaarheid en een goed contrast tussen positieve en negatieve ruimte, waardoor het verbluffend veelzijdig is. Met een naadloze combinatie van eigentijdse details en klassieke stijlen, haalt Aprex inspiratie uit de humanistische en groteske lettertypen uit het midden van de eeuw. Elk gewicht bevat meer dan 700 glyphs.
