FF Dax is a humanist sans-serif typeface designed by Hans Reichel, published by FontFont library. The typeface is popular in advertising and in marketing.[1] It is a "spurless" sans-serif, similar to typefaces like Semplicità and some characters in Gill Sans, where strokes end without terminals.[1] This gives it a modernist, abstract feeling, detached from handwriting principles.[2] Other designs, Barmeno and Sari, more bulbous cousins of FF Dax, have also been designed by Reichel.[1]

In 2005 Hans Reichel reworked FF Dax into a cleaner, more mature text face called FF Daxline & FF Daxline Office Pro.
