about

Akzidenz Grotesk, the great-grandfather of many if not all modern grotesk typefaces, sparked a virtual cambrian explosion of new type families. (The name Kambri is the homage to that). Kambri is not merely a modern take on AG, far from it. It’s a reinterpretation, with many modern ideas, with a vibe of what made AG great.

Consistent angles and shapes

One of nice things about Akzidenz Grotesk are the terminals ending at an angle instead of horizontally like Helvetica. Kambri unifies the angle of all terminals, the termination height and point, and the relationship of the letters to each other. Kambri therefore is a lot stricter, starker, more rigid.

X

Fully related siblings

All sibling letters (think o, e, c — or G C O, or E, F, H ) have the same basic shape in Kambri. This further unifies the typeface, and purposefully adds to the rigidity and starkness of the face.

X

Matching letter shapes across all weights

Kambri has one consistent look and feel across all weights. AG’s various weights were drawn and produced in various different time periods, foundries, designers, and even media, and most digital versions reflect that. With Kambri, every letter is drawn to be the same shape across any weight, for a more uniform, consistent look.

X

Goodness is in the details

Great care was also taken that all lines are on the same height: the crossbars on the E, F and H, the thickness of the strokes across t, z and f, and the general width of each letter.

X

Stylistic alternates

Kambri comes with a variety of stylistic alternates, transforming anything from punctuation, individual letters, to the entire look and feel of the font.
