Franklin Gothic reimagined across four variable axes

Onweer is a Franklin Gothic-inspired typeface developed by CSTM Fonts, with Mikhail Strukov contributing to the design and Alexander Lyubovenko assisting with mastering. The collection spans Display, Normal, and Poster optical sizes, each in five width variants, plus a variable font with four axes including slant (−20° to +20°) and contrast. A stylistic set of super-closed forms marks its sharpest departure from its historical reference. The family ships as 351 static fonts with Extended Latin and Cyrillic support.

Insights

Four variable axes are available, with slant reaching dramatic angles of −20° and +20° and a separate contrast axis for subtler modulation.
The collection is structured across three optical sizes (Display, Normal, Poster) each offered in five width variants (Comp, Cond, standard, Extd, Wide), totalling 15 subfamilies plus the variable.
A stylistic set featuring super-closed forms is cited as a formal departure from Franklin Gothic.
Extended Latin and Cyrillic are both supported across the full static library of 351 fonts.
