What is the Geomatrix font?
The font Geomatrix is an original design by Alex Kaczun. It is a dynamic stencil interpretation based on his extremely successful Contax Pro family of geometric sans typefaces. Geomatrix is a contemporary stencil typeface based on generous proportions and clean, crisp lines.The stencil treatment is balanced visually with the stem weight of the font which creates a uniformity and harmony within the design. Geomatrix makes for easy reading and is ideal for long lines of copy. It exudes a strong sense of sophistication for a true stencil design. More…
However, this is no ordinary stencil typeface. That’s putting it mildly. Geomatrix is a font on STEROIDS! This unique OpenType font incorporates hundreds of CAPITAL alternate letter forms and glyph substitutions, automatically and on the fly, within InDesign and other Open Type applications. To turn this feature on, just typeset ALL CAPS and go into InDesign’s OpenType>Stylistic Sets and select Set 1 from the menu. Turn character kerning from Metrics to Optical, adjust tracking to minus 20-30, and start typing to create some visually interesting letter substitutions and unique word combinations. Geomatrix was specifically designed to take advantage of the OpenType format, allowing the Graphic Designer a unique tool to achieve the desired degree of possible visual typographic effects.
And finally, the character sets in Geomatrix have been expanded to include old-style figures and all Eastern European accented glyphs. Strap in and hold on to your seats. A revolution in new font technologies has begun!
