CONCEPT:
Stratos is a family that rethinks concepts of weight and width, spanning multiple hierarchies within a single style. Stratos is a geometric grotesque whose peculiar utility is derived from unusual ideas about proportion. It eschews conventional notions of typographic relationships—not just for novel effect but to empower the user to do more interesting things with type.
