Thin Thin Italic Light Light Italic Book Book Italic Regular Italic Medium Medium Italic Bold Bold Italic ExtraBold ExtraBold Italic Black Black ItalicHalcom is an award-winning sans serif typeface inspired by the historic geometric’s of the 1920s, specifically Futura. The design is not a simple pastiche of what went before; this is much more than that. It is a close investigation of how Futura inspired other type designs like Avenir and helped push the boundary of what is a modern typeface of its generation.
Overlaying perfect geometric shapes, careful adjustment is made for each character and each corner to the point of balance between pure mathematics and optical correctness. The result is a distinctively modern geometric font family that is strikingly simple in design yet perfectly pleasing to the reader's eye.
Details include 550 characters per style with alternate lowercase a, g and y, five variations of numerals, manually edited kerning and OpenType features. In 2015, Halcom earned a Silver Award in the Hiii Brand International Typography Competition.
