Finn has been carefully designed as a body typeface by Oliver Linke and especially tailored to increase readability of large amounts of text. Particularly spacing and kerning played an important role in the design process.

Although a text typeface requires rather ordinary letterforms, Finn was furnished with charming details, that produce its distinctive warm and human appearance, without disturbing the process of reading. This makes it suitable for various typo- graphic fields in contemporary graphic design.
