Its aim is to provide a comprehensive range of typefaces for the requirements of online news media. For that purpose, Formaat comes in three differents ranges of styles, each corresponding to a specific use: Text, Headline and Sans, comprising 11 styles in total. Formaat Text is designed for continuous reading. The Latin takes inspiration from French and Dutch baroque typefaces such as those of Jean Jannon or Johann Michael Fleischmann. It has relatively low contrast and classical proportions, with marked ascenders and descenders. The Hebrew is based on traditional letterforms and informed by calligraphic practice, with a sharp treatment of outlines. Behance link. Github link.
