Junction
A humanist text sans that blends humanist warmth with grotesque structure — the League’s first workhorse.
About Junction
Junction is a humanist sans by Caroline Hadilaksono, released in 2010 as The League of Moveable Type's first text face. It splits the difference between humanist and grotesque — open, legible letterforms with a little warmth in the terminals and a steady, even rhythm across a line.
That makes it the League's workhorse rather than a showpiece: it holds up in running text, interfaces, and captions where the foundry's condensed display faces would be unreadable. The family includes light, regular, and bold weights for a basic working hierarchy. It is released under the Open Font License, and we self-host it here.

Display + body that work together
Headlines, written under pressure
Body type does the heavy lifting. Get it right and the reader never thinks about it; get it wrong and they feel it before they can name what is off.

Quiet type that does the work
Crisp, even strokes give the display its punch. Quiet serifs underneath stay readable across thousands of words — used together by editors at the kind of paper that still prints corrections.
