Author's note
Karst is a geometric sans-serif typeface characterized by precise angles and contemporary shapes. Combining geometric clarity with subtle angular details, Karst achieves excellent readability through its high x-height, open letterforms, and minimal contrast between horizontal and vertical strokes. This quality makes Karst effective for both headlines and body text.
The typeface draws inspiration from Karst landscapes, natural geological formations known for their distinctive combination of smooth curves and sharp edges. This interplay of softness and angularity is clearly reflected in Karst's design, particularly through the sharply defined diagonal cuts and blunt endings in letters such as "A," "Y," "K," "M," and "V." The horizontal bars in lowercase letters like "e" and "a" also feature angled terminals, adding a subtle visual uniqueness.
Karst offers a comprehensive family of 18 styles, comprising nine weights from Thin to Black, each accompanied by matching italics. It is available in OTF, TTF, and web font formats, as well as a variable font that features two adjustable axes: weight and italic. This flexibility makes Karst suitable for diverse design applications, from web and digital interfaces to branding, editorial projects, and printed materials.
Supporting over 220 languages, Karst covers Extended Latin, Cyrillic, and Greek scripts. It includes advanced OpenType features such as standard and discretionary ligatures, stylistic alternates for modern variations of the letters "a" and "g," tabular figures, small numbers, ordinals, case-sensitive punctuation, and localized forms. Karst's functional yet distinctive character ensures reliable performance across a wide range of uses.
