Action Text puts Erik van Blokland’s ideas about type for interfaces and continuous text onscreen into practice, building on the explorations that led to Action Condensed. Its inventive letterforms stem directly from function: any details that couldn’t be stripped away were simplified and exaggerated. The family places itself firmly in the lineage of great sans serifs engineered for legibility and readability at tiny point sizes and in challenging environments. This variable version comes with weight and grade axes.
