Metric Medium Italic is a sophisticated geometric humanist typeface created by the acclaimed designer Kris Sowersby of Klim Type Foundry. Released in 2011, the design is rooted in the rational letterforms of Berlin street signs (specifically the DIN standards), but it has been refined with humanist proportions to provide a more approachable and legible character than its rigid predecessors. This weight provides a perfect balance between authority and elegance, making it a staple for high-end typography.
The Medium Italic variant is particularly noted for its fluid yet disciplined slant, which avoids the mechanical feel of many geometric sans italics. By blending the efficiency of a neo-grotesque with the warmth of a humanist face, Metric serves as a versatile tool for designers. It is widely praised for its clarity in both digital interfaces and print media, functioning as a contemporary classic that bridges the gap between engineering and craft.
