Rework Micro - Sociotype

About

With its open counters and generous spacing, Rework’s Micro family is ideal for captioning and small print, such as technical details or ingredients on packaging. Reverse-ink traps aid onscreen legibility and provide distinctive character when used at larger sizes. The Micro family is optimised for legibility at sizes between 5 and 10pt (with the Thin, Extralight and Bold weights recommended for use at 12pt and above).
