RIFT

A SCI-FI INSPIRED, GEOMETRIC, SANS-SERIF

The typeface Rift is a tall, geometric, sans serif and is available in many unique styles. It was designed in 2016 by Mattox Shuler, who runs Fort Foundry. The typeface is rooted in the square-sans genre and its bold shape is great for titles. Rift is ideal for font pairing because of its wide variety of styles. It comes in 5 weights with corresponding Italics and Soft styles. Its stylistic alternatives offer a more playful tone and its tabular figures are perfect for vertically aligning numbers. Another fascinating aspect of Rift is that is free and can be used for both personal and professional needs. Though the typeface is originally influenced by the Sci-Fi genre, the end result was a very versatile and contemporary typeface.
