Luzi Types quintessential geometric sans serif typeface, Zeist embodies the principles of early 20th-century modernism while incorporating dynamic, customisable features. It nods to Futura with a less rigid approach, honours Neuzeit Grotesk with a more cohesive form language, and salutes Avenir with a more constructed aesthetic. Characterised by clean lines, uniform stroke weight, and consistent letter shapes, Zeist reflects a minimalist aesthetic that feels meticulously crafted. Its logical construction gives the impression that every element is purposefully designed, creating an almost calculated appearance. The typeface introduces innovative features across four dynamic axes: the Terminal Axis, which adjusts letter terminals from Angular to Horizontal styles; the x‑Height Axis, modifying the x‑height from Low to Tall, particularly beneficial for small font sizes; the Weight Axis, ranging from Hairline to Black; and the Italic Axis, enabling a slant from 1 to 12 degrees.
