Urbane was designed by Rian Hughes and published by Device. Urbane contains 14 styles and family package options. The font is currently #49 in Best Sellers.
Urbane is a versatile all-purpose sans-serif family of six weights plus italics.
It explores the same idea-space as early geometric modernist sans such as Futura, Erbar, Spartan and Elegant Sans, with a single-story a, a contemporary high x-height and very slightly condensed bowls.
Perfect for headlines and running text, it is clear, classic and authoritative. Unusually for a geometric moderne sans, letter-widths are optically balanced, giving an even colour in setting. Includes a full international character set, lining, tabular and old-style numerals.
