HongKong FONT Download
Designer: Gaetan Baehr
Publisher: Indian Type Foundry
HongKong is a large, futuristic-style sans serif family. The letters have straight-sides – even 'e' and 'o', for example – and the whole typeface has a rather minimalistic design. Many typical sans serif features have been reduced somewhat. Quite a few lowercase letters are spurless. The 'a' still has a double-storey structure, but it is without the final spur on its bottom right. Other features of the fonts include a rounded-top 'A' and a single-story 'g'.
HongKong includes 14 fonts. These are seven different weights, each with a companion italic. The italics are obliques. Like the upright fonts, all of their letterforms are drawn with mono-linear strokes. Each font includes alternate, even more-rounded versions of the letters 'M', 'N', 'V', 'W', 'X', 'Y', 'Z', 'v', 'w', 'x', 'y', and 'z' ... plus all of the diacritic characters based on these.
HongKong's lowercase letters have a very tall x-height, and their ascenders rise above caps just a little bit. The family's lighter weights feel nice and loose in text, while the heavier weights are spaced more tightly.
HongKong is a great font for the tech industry, but could also be put to good use to advertise music or art.
