Generis (typeface)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Generis is the name of a typeface designed by type designer Erik Faulhaber. Generis was first published in November 2006 by Linotype.
The Generis is a type system consisting of four type families compatible both in style and metrics. It consists of 28 weights. The four Generis type families are: Generis Serif (eight weights), Generis Sans (twelve weights), Generis Slab (four weights) and Generis Simple (four weights). In being a type system it is similar to the Compatil type family. The compatibility of the corresponding typefaces in the Generis type system allows document and graphic designers to create well balanced documents using the harmonizing typefaces.
