HEX Franklin Sans Serif Font is a an homage to the classic Franklin Gothic type family and its lighter-weight siblings, News Gothic and Lightline Gothic. The design draws specifically from ATF’s original fonts for letterpress printing, and not the later adaptations from other companies.

It is produced as a variable font, allowing for subtle stylistic adjustments, with the heaviest and narrowest variants tuned more for larger sizes. It also is designed with ‘multiplexed’ spacing – where each glyph maintains a consistent width across weights, allowing for weight changes without text reflowing.
