Retain

Design Notes

A contemporary grotesque for everyday use.

Retain comes in nine upright weights—from a whisper-thin Hairline to a beefy Extra Bold (with a variable version that unlocks additional weight options). With over ten stylistic sets containing alternate forms and a choice of round or square dots, this hardworking sans will provide different voices across your brand while maintaining a consistent look and feel. Retain is optimised for a range of sizes from captions to headlines and packed with extras like discretionary ligatures, case-sensitive punctuation, multiple figure sets, arrows, symbols, and support for over 390 languages.
