Geometric sans serif typefaces have been a popular design tool ever since these actors took to the world’s stage.
|
||
Poppins is one of the new comers to this long tradition.
|
||
With support for the Devanagari and Latin writing systems, it is an internationalist take on the genre.

|
||
Many of the Latin glyphs (such as the ampersand) are more constructed and rationalist than is typical.
|
||
The Devanagari design is particularly new, and is the first ever Devanagari typeface with a range of weights in this genre.
|
||
Just like the Latin, the Devanagari is based on pure geometry, particularly circles.

|
||
Each letterform is nearly monolinear, with optical corrections applied to stroke joints where necessary to maintain an even typographic color.
|
||
The Devanagari base character height and the Latin ascender height are equal; Latin capital letters are shorter than the Devanagari characters, and the Latin x-height is set rather high.

||
The Devanagari is designed by Ninad Kale.
|
||
The Latin is by Jonny Pinhorn.
