Opague is a synthetically distilled postmodern geometric sans. Its geometry and apertures are a negotiation of historical references and an insatiable appetite for brutal simplicity. Opague’s character is shaped by a circular O and enforced horizontal lines composed by the apertures and middle height.

Opague forces itself into the spaces where it’s needed. Whether on takeaway lightbox menus or sophisticated wine lists, intricate interface designs or plain headlines, overarching movie titles or closing credits, vast record covers or intimate lyric sheets; Opague is at the service of your everyday design needs.

The family contains a wide range of nine weights, each with a corresponding italic plus a variable font. Opague supports Greek, Cyrillic, and Latin script. Additionally, it’s brimming with typographic tools: arrows, symbols, shapes, additional brackets, all kinds of stylistic sets and contextual alternates, case-sensitive punctuation and a countless amount of sets of figures.
