Familiar Pro

Familiar Pro is a sans serif font family. This typeface has eight styles and was published by CheapProFonts.

Working with preset letter widths was an interesting constraint, both a relief  and a limitation at the same time.
I have done all the 4 basic weights, and the skewed obliques (done to a slightly less steep 10 degrees angle as opposed to the originals 12) has been optically adjusted.
The letters have been designed quite close to the german/swiss grotesk tradition, but by using super-elliptical rounds, rounded dots and slightly curved outer diagonals the end result is a friendly looking font family that still looks...
familiar.
Displaying the beauty and characteristics of the Familiar Pro font family.

This family was inspired by a Type Battle over at Typophile: How would you design a font metrically compatible with Helvetica, but better than Arial? Working with preset letter widths was an interesting constraint, both a relief and a limitation at the same time.
