A typewriter shuttle as the skeleton for a refined sans-serif
Executive is a sans-serif type family designed by Gavillet & Rust, whose skeleton derives from a Hammond typewriter shuttle. The narrow proportions and generous letter-spacing characteristic of the Hammond machine shaped the typeface's slender, economical structure. Drawing development was tested across editorial contexts from 2002 to 2007. The family spans five weights with matching italics and an extensive OpenType feature set.
