Query

Query is not a typical typeface family. Its members inherit the quirky asymmetrical contrast and spatial rhythm of 1960s wood type and, in varying degrees, the outright geometry of Paul Renner’s earlier ideas for Futura. The gradation from black to extra light is not only a change in color, but also character. From the gregarious heavyweights to their even-keeled lightweight siblings, Query carries a range of expressive utility. To take things further, stylistic set 2 squarely mutates certain glyphs, transforming the face into something slightly alien and vaguely futuristic.
