German type designer Erik Spiekermann, created this sans FontFont between 1991 and 2010.

The family has 28 weights, ranging from Hairline to Black in Condensed and Normal (including italics) and is ideally suited for advertising and packaging, book text, editorial and publishing, logo, branding and creative industries, small text as well as web and screen design.

FF Meta provides advanced typographical support with features such as ligatures, small capitals, alternate characters, case-sensitive forms, fractions, and super- and subscript characters.

It comes with a complete range of figure set options—oldstyle and lining figures, each in tabular and proportional widths.

As well as Latin-based languages, the typeface family also supports the Cyrillic, Greek, and Hebrew writing systems.

In 2011, FF Meta was added to the MoMA Architecture and Design Collection in New York.

This FontFont is a member of the FF Meta super family, which also includes FF Meta Correspondence, FF Meta Headline, and FF Meta Serif.
