Auto is an extensive sans serif family, featuring three
different italic variations, each with their own flavour.
Auto affords a vast typographic palette, allowing the
exploration of a range of typographic possibilities. The
production of Auto spanned more than five years. It was
originally designed as a custom family of three fonts for a
publication and exhibition about Maire Gullichsen and the
Pori Art Museum in Finland. The family was expanded to
twelve fonts for the 50th anniversary of the Finnish
printing house, SalpausselÄn Kirjapaino Oy. The purpose was
to offer their own .cast metal. type for their clients and
Auto was determined to capture their house style.
Gradually, the dozen original weights were completely
overhauled, the character set expanded to include both
western and eastern European languages, and two italic
variations added.
