Halogen from Positype

Christopher Slye, writing for Typekit:

Halogen sports generous width and a hint of reverse stress—that is, horizontal strokes thicker than vertical strokes—putting it somewhere between mid-century advertising faces like Estro and commercial workhorses like Copperplate Gothic. This varying stroke weight often evokes pen writing, but it is more sculptural in the case of Halogen, giving the letterforms a satisfying substance at display sizes. It performs well at smaller subhead sizes too.
