About this typeface:
Aaux was an obsession of mine for quite some time ... the result turned out to be an extensive sans serif family that has a certain feel all it’s own. The family has all of the necessary trappings to serve as a workhorse text typeface (small caps, old style figures and several weights) but the addition of the thin, ultra and poster weights allow it to have a display flexibility. Built to be mechanically clean with true italic weights, the font is comfortable in various traditional text settings as well as digital and online uses.
Designed by Neil Summerour
