HongKong is a large, futuristic-style sans serif family. The letters have straight-sides – even ‘e’ and ‘o’, for example – and the whole typeface has a rather minimalistic design. Many typical sans serif features have been reduced somewhat. Quite a few lowercase letters are spurless. The ‘a’ still has a double-storey structure, but it is without the final spur on its bottom right. Other features of the fonts include a rounded-top ‘A’ and a single-story ‘g’. HongKong includes 14 fonts. These are seven different weights, each with a companion italic. The italics are obliques. Like the upright fonts, all of their letterforms are drawn with mono-linear strokes. Each font includes alternate, even more-rounded versions of the letters ‘M’, ‘N’, ‘V’, ‘W’, ‘X’, ‘Y’, ‘Z’, ‘v’, ‘w’, ‘x’, ‘y’, and ‘z’ … plus all of the diacritic characters based on these. HongKong’s lowercase letters have a very tall x-height, and their ascenders rise above caps just a little bit. The family’s lighter weights feel nice and loose in text, while the heavier weights are spaced more tightly. HongKong is a great font for the tech industry, but could also be put to good use to advertise music or art.

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.
