Metric Thin Italic

Metric Thin Italic is a sophisticated geometric humanist typeface designed by Kris Sowersby of the Klim Type Foundry. Released in 2011, the design of Metric is rooted in the rationalist geometry of Berlin's street signage, capturing a unique balance between mechanical engineering and human handwriting. The Thin Italic weight specifically provides a delicate, airy feel that maintains exceptional clarity and elegance even at smaller sizes.

The typeface is often celebrated for its versatility, functioning as a bridge between the rigid structures of Grotesk fonts and the more fluid nature of Humanist styles. Metric Thin Italic is engineered to perform seamlessly across both high-resolution print and digital screens, making it a favorite for designers who require a contemporary aesthetic that conveys professional authority without sacrificing visual warmth.
