Part of the Equitan super family, Equitan Sans and Equitan Slab are ready for branding projects and packaging design. They serve up industrial-era letterforms, refreshed for a new century. Each of the seven weights has an upright and a true italic, with 418 glyphs per font. Equitan Slab’s uppercase letters create an almost woven pattern when set together, due to their oversized serifs. The italics follow suit, and include long out-strokes. These curls create a playful take on recognisable elements of the ‘Scotch Roman’ genre. Wherever possible, counterforms are round, such as in b, d, p, q, 6, or 9; even the bottom of the ‘g’ has an atypically rounded counterform, and its ear curls up in a very noble manner. The default numeral style in all 14 fonts are proportional oldstyle figures. Thanks to OpenType features, tabular versions are also available, as well as lining figures. The typeface’s most striking characters are the arched-up legs of the capital ‘R’ and lowercase ‘k’, as well as the tail of the capital ‘Q’.

One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin.

He lay on his armour-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections. The bedding was hardly able to cover it and seemed ready to slide off any moment. His many legs, pitifully thin compared with the size of the rest of him, waved about helplessly as he looked. The Metamorphosis is a short story, sometimes regarded as a novella, by Franz Kafka, first published in 1915. It has been cited as one of the seminal works of fiction of the 20th century and is studied in colleges and universities across the Western world.
