HAL Gap is a powerful display sans. The keen gesture of slicing and chopping the ends off the round characters, allows for tight spacing and a sharp appearance, perfect for those mighty headlines. Originally inspired by “Leporello”, Friedrich Poppl’s 1977 design for Berthold, Gap comes in seven individual styles, diverging in width and weight. They range from an extremely thin and compressed XXS to a wide and heavy XXL. All static styles are encased in a gutsy variable font, seamlessly shaping countless instances in between.  Download Specimen
