Though solemn in appearance, Diploë is playful in application. Monokrom’s new sans serif family is conceived as a variable spectrum, ranging from narrow to wide, light to black, covering roman and italic styles, as well as intermediate postures. Individual fonts are available in three widths, counting seven weights each, for a total of fourty-two styles.
