Watts Standard — Wide Geometric Sans from Ordklasse
Watts Standard is a wide geometric sans typeface drawn for sans and geometric
Watts Standard is a wide, open geometric sans with a soft, heavy Black. Round letters sit close to a circle, the apertures stay generous at both weights, and the Black keeps its counters instead of closing up. Two weights and a variable file between them.
2 weights, 75 glyphs each, released September 2026.
Licensed for work in Australia and everywhere else, in any language the glyph set covers.

Watts Standard text
A display face earns its keep in the two lines that carry a masthead, but it is judged on whether it survives everything around them. Watts Standard is set here at reading size so the question can be answered before a licence is bought rather than after.
The 2 weights are interpolated from a single skeleton, which is what keeps the rhythm even across the range: stems thicken, counters close and sidebearings tighten together rather than each weight being drawn to its own logic. Regular holds together at text size; Black closes up without filling in.
