About Basic
Magnus Gaarde's Basic is a straightforward, unpretentious sans-serif designed for maximum clarity in body text and UI contexts. Its single regular weight draws from the humanist grotesque tradition, with open letterforms and balanced proportions that prioritize legibility over stylistic flourish. The name is its ethos — a dependable, neutral workhorse for interfaces, forms, and informational content.
