Ogonek Font

Note of the author

Ogonek was created with the express role of having a neutral, unsophisticated, easily readable, but hardly identifyable font, worthy of any lorem ipsum text - a case when no obvious font style is needed to distract the reader (imagine a dummy text with a dummy font!), removing hints of Arial or Helvetica and leave everything to the pure act of reading, even if at its core it's a Swiss Gothic font design and the basic character construction rules cannot be overlooked.
In order to create a simple and "easy-to-follow" font, generous spacing was added to the letters and words, extra shapes and angles were used at a minimum and the open curves kept at a fair distance to allow more space in the paragraph.
If I'd have to describe it, it would be "just an other random sans font like all the other", and that's what I'm after. A font with familiar shapes, created for their sole utility of forming a sentence, but one that reminds me of each favorite sans. Truth to be told, Ogonek was born out of a personal frustration regarding sans fonts, where at least one character always seemed out of place, when "not every song of the album is a top ten material". This won't make Ogonek a remix, this can go as a synthesis of most of the things I learned and loved so far in a sans font.
Something between niche and cliché, to please my eyes from A to Z.
