The Aglet superfamily arose from repeated customer requests for a typeface that comes across as both technical and human. Built on an architecture of forty-five and ninety-degree angles, Aglet is softened by circular terminals and strategic curves, making roundness its disposition rather than an embellishment.
The collection includes blunt, hardy Aglet Slab, streamlined Aglet Sans, and quirkily practical Aglet Mono. The minimal Extra Light weights suggest wireframes. As they approach bulky Ultra, the shapes take on added interest and character.
Used together, the three faces form a robust, flexible typographic palette of seven matched weights with true italics and an extensive set of symbols. Aglet feels as at home in editorial design and corporate branding as it does on the web (and in your favorite text editor). Mitja Miklavčič and Teja Smrekar provided production assistance on Aglet Mono.
