Method

About

Method is a geometric sans-serif typeface inspired by Lining Gothic No.82. Its low contrast and geometric foundation create a clean, minimal aesthetic, while high-waisted proportions in round characters distinguish it from typical geometric designs. With its open counters and clean design, the overall appearance feels airy and fresh.

The journey began with an intriguing ‘g’ from Barnhart Bros. & Spindler’s Specimen No.9. This character’s unique signature—a compact rounded counter above a flat base, crowned by a long 90-degree ear. The design amplifies the original specimen’s geometric character, visible in the right-angled strokes of t, f, r, y, and j, while the near-perfect circles of o, b, d, p, and q reinforce its systematic approach.

Method’s high-waisted proportions appear throughout the family—not only in letters with counters and horizontal bars like B, P, R, E, F, and H, but also in round letters like C and S, where apertures sit above their visual center. This creates a cohesive high-waisted appearance across the family. The terminals of the rounds are cut straight horizontally, adding sharpness and character to letters with open counters, like C, G, S, a, c, s, 3, 6, and 9—becoming a distinctive feature of Method.

Originally based on Lining Gothic No.82’s Medium weight, Method has expanded into a comprehensive family spanning from Thin to Black weights, offering versatility for both text and display applications.
