COLFAX
Colfax: The nearly geometric sans serif.

Colfax is a refined oval sans serif of
20th century origins and 21st century
sensibilities.
Influences ranging from the gruff
Aurora Grotesk series to the elegant
Neuzeit are paired with a subtle
geometry and typographic utility to
inform this family of sans serifs.
The Minimalist
True to its minimalist roots, Colfax
has just one alternate: the upper-
case J. Found as an OpenType Sty-
listic Alternate, its horizontal cross
bar at cap height makes it ideal for
double J headlines like JOJOBA,
JUJITSU or JUJUBEE.

Although so-called true italics are often paired success-
fully with sans serif designs, they simply didnt match
Colfax. Oblique, adjusted italics were drawn instead to
match the starkness and gravity of the roman.
G b 05
The conventionally round or semi-oval characters
of Colfax are comprised of subtle straight sides
and near perfect circles. We think of this as
implied geometry. It isnt measured or automat-
ically repeated for all characters but instead
referenced throughout the typeface creating a
pleasant, family-wide gestalt.

four-legged lunar module safely and smoothly to the historic landing yesterday at 4:17:40 P.M., Eastern

on a level, rock-strewn plain near the southwestern shore of the arid Sea of Tranquility. And people back
on earth found the black-and-white television pictures of the bug- shaped lunar module and the men
tramping about it so sharp and clear as to seem unreal, more like a toy and toy-like figures than human
beings on the most daring and far- reaching expedition thus far undertaken. The two men got busy set-
