Metric Regular

Metric Regular is a geometric sans-serif typeface designed by Kris Sowersby and released through the Klim Type Foundry in 2011. The typeface was built upon the foundations of engineering-led design, drawing significant inspiration from the utilitarian aesthetic of West German street signage and the classic DIN model. Metric distinguishes itself by prioritizing rational, clean lines while incorporating subtle optical adjustments that ensure high legibility across various scales.

Conceptually, Metric is the geometric counterpart to Calibre, sharing a similar underlying structure but adhering to a more rigid, mathematical grid. Its versatile nature makes it a favorite for corporate branding, wayfinding systems, and editorial design. The font's open apertures and balanced proportions allow it to transition seamlessly from large-scale display headers to compact body text, maintaining a professional and modern character throughout.
