Metric is a geometric humanist typeface designed by Kris Sowersby of the Klim Type Foundry. Released in 2011, the typeface draws its inspiration from the utilitarian aesthetic of West Berlin street signs. The design represents a unique intersection between strict geometric construction and the organic legibility found in humanist sans-serifs, resulting in a face that feels both engineered and approachable.

The Metric Semibold Regular weight offers a robust and sturdy presence, making it an excellent choice for hierarchy within complex information systems. It is frequently cited as a companion to the typeface Calibre, as both share similar geometric skeletons but offer different stylistic expressions. Its clean lines and balanced proportions have made it a favorite for global corporate identities and sophisticated editorial layouts.
