Onweer is a slightly nostalgic take on Franklin Gothic, with a quiet luxury flavour that can be made louder through the slant axis, reaching dramatic angles of −20 and 20 degrees, or the more subtle contrast axis. The typeface takes little from its historical prototype and takes it in a radically different direction in the stylistic set featuring super closed forms.

Onweer feels just as at home as a single letter on a fashionable tote bag as it does as three lines neatly stacked in a footnote. It’s versatile enough to cover the design needs of an entire corporation — from eye-catching social media covers and environmental graphics to internal printed documents.

Onweer — equipped with four variable axes — comes as a variable font as well as 351 static fonts (15 families) with Extended Latin and Cyrillic support.

Besides CSTM Fonts, Mikhail Strukov contributed to the design of Onweer, while Alexander Lyubovenko assisted the studio with mastering.
