Author's note

Quarter Sans Light by Michael McMahon is a free light geometric sans serif with hairline strokes and an unusually airy build. Rounded bowls meet sharp diagonals, and several letters use open joins or pared-back shapes that make the design feel architectural.

Editorial covers are its strongest setting. The lean construction also suits gallery posters, fashion branding, and cultural event programs, where it can lend text a cool, precise voice. Its recurring mix of soft curves and strict angles connects especially well with minimalist photography and line-based illustration.
