has gloss | eng: FF Meta is a humanist sans-serif typeface family designed by Erik Spiekermann originally as a commission for the Deutsche Bundespost (West German Post Office), but later released by Spiekermann himself in 1991 . According to Spiekermann, Meta was intended to be a "complete antithesis of Helvetica," the latter which he found "boring and bland." . Throughout the nineties, Meta was embraced by the international design community with Spiekermann and E. M. Ginger writing that it had been dubiously praised as the "Helvetica of the 1990s". |
