The Polymode variable font explores flexible personality with a special design axis called Realness, which allows users to fine-tune its expressivity.
Going to Work is the seed of the high-personality Polymode family. Along the Realness axis, this is the style that sticks closest to Lining Gothic, which provided the original inspiration for the design. It cleans it up, irons its clothes, and makes it ready for a fresh new workday. Going to Work mines the past with pride, retaining curious details without being distracting. Sharper curves and flat sides like on the a and g, or the quirky arching r share space with the razor-sharp top of the t and an R that is posing for a portrait.
Going to Work is the refreshing family member of Polymode, with subtleties that slowly reveal themselves to designers and readers alike. And make no mistake: it wants to be read.
