Background
Auto is a sans serif typeface which has three different models of italics, each with its own flavour.
The complete font family consists of 3 × 24 fonts: Auto 1, whose italic is straightforward and restrained; Auto 2, with a personal and friendly italic; and Auto 3 with provocative, almost upright italics, with open counters and strategically placed serifs, loops and swashes.
With its three italics, Auto creates a new typographic palette, allowing the user to drive through unknown typographic and linguistic possibilities. Also, because of its four weights and the three different figure styles, it’s a vehicle equipped for many roads of typography.
