Axiom is an curious grotesque. It’s horizontal strokes and curves are marginally lighter than the verticals. Diagonal rising strokes, on the other hand, are noticeably leaner. That makes the figures dynamic and space-saving and lends this highly usable sans-serif a very distinctive character.
Axiom is drawn differently for small and larger sizes; it is available in 4 weights, and comes with an equally charming italic.
Axiom fonts are available for different sizes:
Axiom 11 contains ink traps, so the characters stay sharper in small sizes.
Axiom 66 has no ink traps and is slightly lighter and narrower. It is more elegant in bigger sizes such as headlines and space-saving in narrow columns.
Axiom 11 contains the usual ampersand (left),
Axiom 66 a more playful form (right).
OpenType Basic fonts contain only tabular lining numerals.
