About Initiate

A Stylish Technology Sans Serif

Initiate began as a digitization of a film typeface from LetterGraphics in the early 70's known as "Kent". The original specimen was only in a Black weight with a tall x-height and included standard Capitals, Lowercase, Numerals and minimal Punctuation. It was a techno style sans-serif, ripe with potential.

As a single weight typeface, it yearned for so much more: from family weight development to stylistic variants. We also decided to create a more normalized x-height version as well, leaving the original design as the Display series. Extras we developed for this family are Unicase variants, High & Low hairline position glyphs, as well as other alternate styled characters.

The Initiate standard family has 1154 characters per font, while the Display family and Monoline font has 685 characters per font.

A comprehensive character map preview is at the end of the poster graphics collection.
