Icons and letters share one weight axis
Netto is a geometric, spurless sans-serif designed by Daniel Utz in 2023, built around monolinear strokes distilled to essential forms. Its companion icon set of more than 420 pictograms shares the same stroke weight and roundness as the letterforms, maintaining formal consistency across the full glyph set. Both text and icon glyphs are adjustable along a shared weight axis; icons also adjust stroke thickness relative to size and scale. A slant axis provides an italic that retains the same advance width as the upright, keeping UI layouts stable across styles.
