Urbanist is a low-contrast, geometric sans-serif inspired by Modernist design and typography. The project was launched by Corey Hu in 2020 with 9 weights and accompanying italics. Conceived from elementary shapes, Urbanist's neutrality makes it a versatile display font for print and digital mediums. The font is currently available as a variable font with "Weight" and "Italic" axes.

There are 9 predefined weights, each with an italic set.

• Thin
• ExtraLight
• Light
• Regular
• Medium
• SemiBold
• Bold
• ExtraBold
• Black

The variable font file utilizes 2 axes for tuning weight (100-900) and italics (0-1).
