RGB is both a name and a principle.
It is derived from Reliable, Global, Built – defining a system that is consistent,
scalable and made for real digital use. Not descriptors, but embedded in how it works. At the same time, RGB nods to the screen itself: Red, Green, Blue – the model of light shaping everything we see. Technical and conceptual. Clear, reliable, purposeful. RGB is not expressive. It doesn’t compete for attention.
RGB is not expressive. It doesn’t compete for attention.
We built RGB for a purpose. For clarity.
For consistency. For scale.

As with many of our fonts, details are paramount. This is where we spent our time. Our typefaces are recognised by how they look – a certain design DNA built into our library through craft and experience. Sometimes a single letter defines a font. We asked ourselves, is anything missing?
The answer was ‘a utilitarian sans’ built for screens and everyday use – from micro-typography on medical packaging to digital products shaping daily life. Through research, we wrote a brief for every glyph. Then we built it. It took time because we wanted to create something distinctly different from what we had done before.
RGB
