Contax Pro is a contemporary design based on generous proportions and clean, crisp lines. Forget about 'Helvetica'. Look out 'Univers'. Contax Pro is the new geometric sans typeface series for the 21st century. Contax Pro makes for easy reading and is ideal for long lines of copy. Contax Pro includes true drawn small capitals and old style figures. The family comes in 6 weights: ultra light, thin, light, regular, medium and bold.

A variation of ”Helvetica according to the blur principle.“ The underlying typeface is ”Helvetica“, the only true ”run-of-the-mill“ typeface of the twentieth century. The distortion principle used simulates the photographic effect of halation and/or overexposure. The light weight, »DeFonte Léger«, nearly breaks on the thin points, whereas on those points where the lines meet or cross, dark spots remain. The characters are ”nibbled at“ from the inner and outer brightness. On the normal and semibold typestyles, »DeFonte Normale« and »DeFonte Demi Gras«, the effect is limited almost exclusively to the end strokes and corners, which appears to be strongly rounded off. The bold version »DeFonte Gros« is especially attractive. As a result of ”overexposure“, counters (internal spaces) are closed in, while characters become blurred and turn into spots; new characteristic forms are created which are astoundingly legible. The fat version »DeFonte Gros« is particularly appealing. “Overexposure” leads to drifted counters, letters blur into spots; new characteristic forms emerge, which are surprisingly easy to read.

Without serifs and without exaggeration. A project that seeks simplicity, with focus on reading and coverage in many languages. Arche has 5 weights and its italics. 10 fonts ranging from Light to Black. It also has a set of styles, old and modern numbers, arrows and ornaments. Excellent alternative to standards such as Akzidenz Grotesk or Helvetica, with a contemporary look, focus on legibility and with Latin American freshness.
