Aaux Next (TypeTrust)

[[Mitglied Micr…]]

When the original Aaux was introduced several years ago, I intended to go back

and expand the family to offer more versatility. Years went by before I was willing to

pick it up again and invest the proper time into building a viable and useful recut.

Just putting a new designation and tweaking a few glyphs here and there would not do

the designer or the typeface justice; instead, I chose to redraw each glyph's skeleton

from scratch for the four main subsets of the super family along with their italics. Each

glyph across the super family is 'connected at the hip' with each style – each character

carries the no frills, simple architecture that endeared so many users to it.

The new recut expands the family to an enormous 72 typefaces! The original has

spawned Compressed, Condensed and Wide subsets – all with corresponding weights –

for complete flexibility. Additionally, all of the original weight variants have all been

incorporated within the OpenType shell: Small Caps and Old Style Figures are there

along with new tabular figures, numerators and denominators, expanded f-ligatures

and a complete Central European character set.

Now available:

Aaux Next: 18 weights
