Edge Sans
Edge Sans is a geometric typeface whose elements and shapes are defined by an orthogonal grid. Edge is rooted in early digital technologies, but is just as relevant for designers today.

Design Concept
Edge Sans is a geometric typeface whose elements and shapes are defined by an orthogonal grid. While the grid establishes strict formal constraints, it also provides intriguing possibilities, and the typeface embodies a joyful exploration of what can be achieved by colouring inside the lines. Edge is playful despite its rudimentary forms, somewhat recalling the early work of the Dutch designer Wim Crouwel and his grid and module research. Edge is rooted in early digital technologies but is equally relevant for designers today.
Two Flavours
Edge comes in two flavours: Sans variant and the Slab, both of which use the same underlying grid system. Each version is available in a range of nine weights. The thin styles of Edge include counters that break the letter shapes into separate elements, while the thicker styles work with the regular rhythm and repetition of forms, built on 0°, 45° and 90° angles.
Alternative Characters
Edge Sans offers alternative forms of letters that include diagonals, a version that strictly adheres to the grid, and one that is more loosely drawn. These variations are selectable via Stylistic Set features.

Small Caps
smcp
Most Typotheque fonts implement the Small Caps feature. In Adobe applications you can replace lower case letters with small caps using the keyboard shortcut (⌘ + ⇧ + H), or the OpenType menu. - HaHa
All Small Capitals
smcp, c2sc
There are two methods of applying small capitals. The first one replaces only lower case letters with small caps. The second method, All Small Caps, also replaces capital letters with small caps. It also replaces regular quotation marks, exclamation points, question marks, slashes and usually also numerals with small caps variants. - (H:(H:
Case Sensitive Forms
case
When the ‘change to caps’ function is applied from within an application (not when text is typed in caps) appropriate case-sensitive forms are automatically applied. Regular brackets, parenthesis, dashes and hyphens are replaced with their capital forms. - (1)(1)
Circled numerals and arrows
dlig
The discretionary ligature feature creates real arrows when you type the combination -> (right arrow), <- (left arrow), -^ (up arrow) or ^- (down arrow). It also creates enclosed numerals when you type numerals inside parenthesis, and inverse enclosed numerals when you type numerals inside brackets. Discretionary ligatures are off by default in Adobe applications. - fifi
Standard Ligatures
liga
Standard ligatures are those which are designed to improve the readability of certain letter pairs. For example, when this feature is activated, typing ‘f’ and ‘i’ will automatically produce the ‘fi’ ligature. Using ligatures does not affect the spelling and hyphenation of your text in any way. - 1919
Proportional Old-style Figures
onum, pnum
Typotheque fonts contain various styles of numerals within one font. Proportional Lining Figures come standard in all our headline and newspaper fonts. Their proportions are specifically designed to work well with capital letters (for example, in headlines). The proportional Old-style Figures feature changes standard figures to Old-style Figures which work well in running text, as they have the same proportions as lower case letters with their ascenders and descenders. - 1919
Tabular Lining Figures
lnum, tnum
Tabular figures are for use in tables where numerals need to be aligned vertically. Tabular figures are available as a OpenType feature and have a fixed width in all weights. Typotheque fonts include both Lining and Old-style Tabular figures. - 1919

Arbitrary Fractions
frac
Typotheque OpenType fonts already include a number of pre-designed diagonal fractions. The fraction feature allows you to create other fractions quickly and easily. - H1H1
Superiors
sups
Replaces all styles of figures (old style, tabular, lining) and letters with their superior alternates, which can be used for footnotes, formulas, etc. Superior characters are more legible than mathematically scaled characters, have a similar stroke weight, are spaced more generously, and better complement the rest of the text. - H1H1
Inferiors
sinf
Replaces all styles of figures (old style, tabular, lining) and letters with their inferior alternates, used primarily for mathematical or chemical notation. Inferior characters are more legible than mathematically scaled characters, have a similar stroke weight, are spaced more generously, and better complement the rest of the text
