Plus Jakarta Sans is a fresh take on geometric sans serif styles, designed by Gumpita Rahayu from Tokotype.
|
|
The fonts were originally commissioned by 6616 Studio for Jakarta Provincial Government program's <em>+Jakarta City
|
|
of Collaboration</em> identity in 2020.

Taking inspiration in Neuzeit Grotesk, Futura, and 1930s grotesque sans serifs with almost monolinear
|
|
contrast and pointy curves, the fonts consist of modern and clean cut forms, the x-height dimension slightly taller
|
|
to provide clear spaces between caps and x-height, and also equipped with open counters and balanced spaces to
|
|
preserve the legibility at a large range of sizes.

The beauty of diversity captured in typography. Like the city itself, the uniqueness of this font is that in
|
|
some glyphs it has its own diversity and characteristic of various explorations of forms that enrich the expressions
|
|
and stories that coexist. The charms of Plus Jakarta Sans fonts appear when one looks closer, manifesting in a
|
|
beauty that emerges once seen as a whole. Each alternate in the family contains several alternative characters,
|
|
divided into three stylistic sets which Lancip (Sharp), Lurus (Straight), and Lingkar (Swirl).
