ABF Linéaire About
For the typeface ‘ABF Linéaire’ the letter shapes of ‘ABF Petit’ have been
transformed into linear contours. Still geometric, but no longer solid
rectangles, ovals, and dots, these characters are much more fluid.
With six weights ranging from Thin to Bold, ‘ABF Linéaire’ gives its users
an array of typographic possibilities. Either alongside its sister fonts or on
its own, this typeface adds dynamism to any message it conveys.
