Typeface Design for Fontfabric

Geometry anchored by humanist warmth

Intro is a geometric sans-serif family designed by Svetoslav Simov at Fontfabric, inspired by early 20th-century geometric typefaces—Futura, DIN, and Avant Garde among them. Its construction is built on triangular, circular, and square forms, tempered by humanist details that are especially visible in the italic cuts. The family spans 72 styles across standard, condensed, and inline widths, with weights from Thin to Black plus obliques.
