Typeface Design for Production Type

A typeface that gets tighter as it gets heavier

Dr is a geometric sans serif designed by Yoann Minet, originally developed for a medical company specialising in orthopedic prosthetics and implants for hands and wrists. Its letterforms feature minimal optical correction, widely varying proportions, and deliberately unsettling design details that evoke surgical precision rather than conventional refinement. Narrow counter apertures and tight letter fit intensify progressively across weights, while the dot-to-stem distance on the lowercase i similarly closes as weight increases.
