Gerbert Sans is a font developed as an exercise in understanding typography at its most fundamental level. Designing each character forced me to look more closely at details I had previously encountered primarily through typesetting: proportion, spacing, stroke relationships, optical correction, rhythm, and the relationship between individual forms.
