About Metra
HLC Metra seamlessly merges the boundaries between two iconic typographic archetypes known as “Grotesk” and “Geometric”, establishing its DNA predominantly within these two genres. Originating as an extension of my thesis at ECAL titled “Typographic Survivals: The Diachronic Evolution of Typographic Forms”, aimed at reimagining typographic classification and establishing links between influences, HLC Metra was conceived as a “mixed-breed” typeface, assimilating distinctive shapes from both worlds into a singular typeface.
Drawing inspiration from Akzidenz Grotesk, Neue Haas Grotesk as well as Twentieth Century, its harmonious proportions and flowing rhythm evoke a seamless and modern sensibility, tailored for contemporary usage. Conceived as a toolbox, the font incorporates various OpenType features, enabling users to craft different aspects of its personality. HLC Metra’s generous x-height ensures excellent legibility at smaller sizes and facilitates tight line spacing for titles. The typeface achieves a seamless blend between functionality and distinctive features, making it a versatile option for designers seeking typographic solutions.
